Ingredients
Vanilla Syrup
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 vanilla bean (or 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract)
Matcha Latte
- 1 cup milk (and fat %)
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Syrup
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder (ceremonial grade)
- ice
Instructions
Vanilla Syrup
- Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan. Cut a vanilla bean in half (lengthwise) and place it into the pot. (If you are using vanilla extract instead, add it to the syrup once cooled.)
- Bring the syrup to a boil over medium-high. Then reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, remove the vanilla bean from the pot and pour the syrup into an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Cup of Yum
Matcha Latte
- Add the milk and matcha powder to a 16-ounce glass. Mix with a milk frother (or a spoon) until completely combined. (see note)
- Add 1 tablespoon of the vanilla syrup (or more to your taste) and mix again. Fill the glass with ice cubes and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- When frothing your milk, it can significantly rise in the cup, so you want to use a bigger glass than needed. Alternatively, you can mix the matcha with ½ the amount of milk and mix. Then add the rest of the milk and gently mix again. The bubbles/foam that rise to the top will dissipate as you stir your drink.
- This vanilla simple syrup recipe makes about 2/3 cups of syrup, which is a little over 10 tablespoons.
- Nutritional information is for the latte part of the recipe only and uses 2% milk for reference.
