3-Minute Matcha Latte
Description
This matcha latte recipe uses hot or cold water mixed with matcha powder, Medjool dates, and almond butter. Blending these creates a smooth and creamy consistency where the dates dissolve to add natural sweetness, and the almond butter adds body and a subtle nutty flavor. Adjusting matcha powder controls the caffeine intensity and the strength of matcha flavor.
The lactose-free ingredients and blend process make it accessible for various dietary preferences. For those without a high-speed blender, straining the mix ensures a smooth drink free of date bits. Served over ice, it provides a refreshing cold latte variation.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water (hot or cold)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 Medjool dates , pitted
- 1 teaspoon almond butter or cashew butter
Instructions
- For a warm drink, use boiled water, and for an iced drink use cold or room temperature water.
- In a blender, combine the water, dates, almond butter and matcha. Blend until the dates have totally broken down and the mixture looks creamy.
- Taste and adjust the ingredients as needed to your taste. I typically use 1/2 teaspoon of matcha to keep the caffeine lower, but 1 teaspoon will have more and a stronger matcha flavor.
- If you don't have a high-speed blender, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any bits of date that didn't get blended, directly into your cup. Serve right away, and over ice for a chilled drink.
