A matcha latte is a popular beverage that combines matcha green tea powder with steamed milk (dairy or plant-based) and often a sweetener.
Preparation
- Sift matcha powder to remove clumps
- Mix matcha with a small amount of hot water to create a paste
- Add steamed milk (hot or cold)
- Sweeten to taste (honey, sugar, or syrup)
Variations
- Hot Matcha Latte: Made with steamed milk
- Iced Matcha Latte: Served over ice with cold milk
- Dirty Matcha: Matcha latte with a shot of espresso
- Plant-based: Can be made with oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk
Notes
Culinary grade matcha is typically used for lattes rather than ceremonial grade, as the milk and sweetener mask the subtle flavors of premium matcha.
