Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon pure matcha green tea powder (I prefer ceremonial)
  • 1 tablespoon hot water (just under boiling)
  • 1/4 cup hot water (just under boiling)
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk or cow's milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sift the matcha powder into the bottom of a wide mug.
  2. Pour in the 1 tablespoon of hot water. Using your chasen, whisk vigorously until all of the matcha powder has dissolved.
  3. Next, pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of hot water and whisk again until dissolved.
  4. 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.

  • Use a milk frother - If you have a milk frother attached to an at-home espresso machine, you can use that too!
  • Use ceremonial matcha - If your budget allows it, choose the higher quality type of matcha for a better cup of matcha latte.
