Ingredients

  • 3 tsp *1 good quality Matcha Powder * bamboo tsp
  • 1/3 cup of hot water *2
  • 3/4 cup of milk any kind *3

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place matcha powder in a matcha latte bowl.
  2. Whisk and stir matcha green tea powder with a bamboo whisk. *4
  3. Pour hot water to the bowl and whisk vigorously with the bamboo whisk. *5
  4. Froth the milk to 140-160°F (60-70°C) using coffee espresso machine milk frother. *6
  5. Pour the milk into the cup of matcha.
  6. Sift a little matcha over the cup and serve! *7 Optional

Notes

  • *1 This is a special bamboo teaspoon to measure the portion of matcha powder. Three heaps of this spoon of matcha is equivalent to one normal teaspoon. 
  • *2 The hot water temperature should be around 175°F(80°C) If you pour too hot boiling water into the bowl, the matcha will lose the delicate flavour and aroma. 
  • *3 As mentioned in the above post FAQ section, you can use any kind of milk you like. The ideal temperature of the milk is 140-160°F(60-70°C). 
  • *4 This extra step is to prevent any unpleasant lumps forming. If you don't have a bamboo whisk, the matcha powder needs to be sieved through a fine-mesh sieve. 
  • *5 You can add sweetness at this point, into the matcha brewed or add to the milk. 
  • *6 If you don't have this type of milk frother, see the post above for more options. You can heat up the milk to the ideal temperature and then use a stick blender. 
  • *7 If you cannot draw beautiful latte art, a sprinkle of extra matcha powder is optional.
