Matcha Latte
Description
Matcha Latte uses quality ceremonial matcha green tea powder carefully sifted to avoid clumps, then dissolved in hot water with vigorous whisking. The drink incorporates coconut milk warmed with honey, adding creaminess and gentle sweetness. This careful preparation balances matcha's natural grassy and earthy flavors with the soft texture of frothed milk. Whisking throughout ensures no powder remains undissolved, and the final beverage has a velvety consistency with delicate foam.
This latte works well as a comforting beverage at any time of day, served warm in a wide mug that allows whisking and enjoying the thin layer of froth on top. It's a satisfying way to experience matcha's unique flavor without the bitterness that can come from improper mixing.
Using ceremonial matcha powder yields a cleaner, more nuanced taste, while a milk frother can be employed to speed up frothing if preferred. The recipe notes include equipment suggestions and options for milk types, supporting variations and adjustments to taste.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder I prefer ceremonial, pure
- 1 tablespoon water just under boiling, hot
- 1/4 cup water just under boiling, hot
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 cup coconut milk light; or almond milk, oat milk, cow's milk
Instructions
- Sift the matcha powder into the bottom of a wide mug.
- Pour in the 1 tablespoon of hot water. Using your chasen, whisk vigorously until all of the matcha powder has dissolved.
- Next, pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of hot water and whisk again until dissolved.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, set over medium-low heat, combine the honey and milk. Heat until very warm. Whisk vigorously to create a bit of froth at the top. Pour the warmed milk into the mug and whisk one last more.
Notes
- Choose ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and smooth texture.
- Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to dissolve powder thoroughly and create froth.
- Milk frother may be used as an alternative to manual whisking.
- Adjust milk type to preference—coconut milk, almond, oat, or cow’s milk all work.
