Calories: 122kcal
Equipment
- 1 Chasen or metal whisk
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 Glass or mug for serving
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder culinary or latte grade
- ¾ cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 teaspoon sweetener optional
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Hot Matcha Latte
- Add 2 tablespoons of hot water to your matcha powder in a small bowl.
- Using your metal whisk or bamboo chasen, whisk the matcha and water until the clumps are gone.
- Bring the milk to a light simmer over the stove or in the microwave. Add your chosen sweetener to the milk and stir until it's dissolved.
- Add the warm milk to the matcha and whisk until frothy in a "W" or "M" shaped pattern. Pour into your favorite mug, or enjoy straight from the bowl!
Iced Matcha Latte
- Add 2 tablespoons of hot or filtered water to the matcha powder in a small bowl. Using your metal whisk or bamboo chasen, whisk the matcha and water until the clumps are gone.
- Add the sweetener to your cold milk. Then, add your milk to the matcha powder mix and whisk until frothy in a "W" or "M" shaped pattern. Pour the whole thing over ice for a refreshing matcha latte.
- Ice Cube Tip: Pour it over some matcha latte ice cubes so the ice cubes don't dilute your latte down.
Notes
Some store-bought plant-based milk already contains sweeteners, so be sure to taste your latte before adding sweetener.
