Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon ceremonial-grade matcha powder Jade Leaf or Encha recommended, sifted
- 2 ounces hot water 175 °F/80 °C
- 8 ounces milk dairy or plant-based (oat, almond, soy)
- 1 teaspoon sweetener honey, agave nectar, or pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon optional froth boost heavy cream or coconut cream
Instructions
- Pour a little hot water into your matcha bowl, swirl it around, discard, and dry—preheating keeps the latte warm.
- Place the matcha powder in the bowl, add hot water, then whisk in an “M” or “W” motion until a bright green paste forms with tiny bubbles on top.
- Heat milk until steaming, froth using a handheld frother or small whisk.
- Pour frothed milk over the matcha paste, stirring gently. Add sweetener of choice, tasting as you go.
- Spoon any leftover foam on top for a cafe-style look. Sprinkle a pinch of matcha or cinnamon if desired.
- Use a glass mug to admire the layers. Take a moment to enjoy the aroma before sipping.
Notes
Whisk speed matters for foam consistency. Experiment with matcha grades for different results. Rinse your whisk promptly to prevent stains. Leftover matcha paste can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
