Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon matcha tea powder ceremonial grade
  • ¼ cup hot water 60 ml, must be 80C / 175F, NOT BOILING
  • 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

  • 7g net carbs per matcha latte. Makes 1 cup (240ml). 
  • **If you don't have the matcha whisk, press the matcha tea powder through a small sieve. This will help get rid of any clumps. Then, whisk vigorously using a ballon whisk.

  • ***If you don't have the milk frother, blend the warm milk in a high speed blender or smoothie blender. A regular kitchen whisk will also create some foam.

  • Don't use boiling water. It scorches the matcha powder and ruins the taste. Also, if the milk is hotter than recommended, it will not become foamy.

  • Option to add a sugar free syrup or powdered sweetener to the drink. It's also nice to add a pinch of cinnamon or ground ginger.
