Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder (when using ceremonial grade, you may need less-- adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 cup whole milk, or preferred non-dairy milk (I usually use almond milk)
  • Sugar or sweetener to taste (I use a few drops of stevia or 1 1/2 tsp coconut sugar)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour the matcha green tea powder into a mug along with 1/4 cup of hot water. Let the tea "bloom" for 1-2 minutes, whisking rapidly to break up any small pieces. For this you can use a wooden matcha whisk or a small metal whisk (a matcha whisk works best).
  2. If you have an automatic milk frother, add the milk to the frother, heat and froth the milk, pour it into the bloomed matcha and sweeten to taste.
  3. If you do not have a frother, add bloomed matcha to a small saucepan with the milk and sugar or sweetener. Heat until mixture bubbles around the edges, whisking constantly. If you prefer a frothy latte, use an immersion blender to carefully whip up some foam after it's done heating.
  4. Pour into a large mug, serve and enjoy! Adjust the sweetener to taste. This type of latte tastes best lightly sweetened.

Notes

  • You will also need: Large mug, matcha whisk or regular small whisk, milk frother OR small saucepan, immersion blender (optional)
