Matcha Latte
Creamy, refreshing, and a great energy boost, this homemade matcha latte recipe is better and cheaper than the coffee shop!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 cup milk or lactose-free milk
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener of your choice
Instructions
Hot Matcha Lattes
- Heat the water to a simmer.
- Sift the matcha powder through a fine mesh sieve into a shallow bowl. Add the hot water and use a bamboo matcha whisk or regular whisk to combine, making an up and down M motion, until the mixture is smooth and a little frothy.
- Heat the milk to a simmer then stir in sweetener. Froth until doubled in size. Pour into a large mug.
- Add the matcha mixture on top, stirring gently to combine, then serve.
Iced Matcha Lattes
- Sift the matcha powder through a fine mesh sieve into a shallow bowl. Add ¼ cup warm water and use a bamboo matcha whisk or regular whisk to combine, making an up and down M motion, until the mixture is smooth and a little frothy.
- Sweeten the milk to taste.
- Fill a large glass with ice. Add milk, then pour the matcha mixture over top, stirring with a straw before serving.
Notes
- I prefer maple syrup or honey to sweeten my lattes, but granulated or brown sugar also works well. Honey can be difficult to incorporate into cold milk, so I usually use maple syrup for iced lattes. If using honey, pour the milk into a jar, add honey, and shake very well to combine.
- Look for matcha powder that is sourced from Japan, is very bright green, and costs around $20-30 for a 1.5 to 2.5-ounce package.
