Almond Milk Matcha Latte

The Almond Milk Matcha Latte combines ceremonial-grade matcha powder whisked with hot water and topped with warm, frothed unsweetened almond milk. This creates a smooth, bright green beverage that balances the rich grassy flavor of matcha with creamy nutty almond milk. The texture is light and foamy on top, making it a comforting choice for a tea-based latte alternative.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon matcha tea powder ceremonial grade
  • ¼ cup water 60 ml, must be 80C / 175F, NOT BOILING, hot
  • ¾ cup almond milk 180ml, unsweetened and with a high fat content, warmed to 65C or 150F

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the matcha powder into a wide bottomed mug or a bowl. Add a little hot water (I add 2 tablespoon). Whisk using a bamboo whisk, breaking up any clumps. You are done when the top is nice and foamy. **see notes if you don't have a bamboo whisk
  2. Warm the almond milk. Then, froth it with an electric milk frother. ***see notes
  3. Pour in the remaining water and the foamed milk on top of the matcha mix.

Notes

  • The recipe yields approximately one 240ml cup containing 7g net carbs.
  • If a bamboo whisk is unavailable, sift matcha powder through a small sieve to remove clumps, then whisk vigorously with a balloon whisk.
  • Without a milk frother, warm almond milk can be frothed with a high-speed blender, smoothie blender, or even a kitchen whisk, though foam may vary.
  • Do not use boiling water as it scorches matcha and hurts flavor; keep water at about 80°C (175°F).
  • Milk hotter than about 65°C (150°F) will not froth properly.
  • Optional additions include sugar-free syrup, powdered sweetener, or a pinch of cinnamon or ground ginger to enhance flavor.
