Matcha Latte 抹茶ラテ

Notes
- Use a bamboo teaspoon equivalent to three standard teaspoons for measuring matcha powder.
- Avoid boiling water; 175°F (80°C) is ideal to preserve matcha's delicate flavor and aroma.
- The milk can be any type; heat to 140-160°F (60-70°C) and froth using a suitable frothing tool or method.
- To prevent lumps, whisk matcha powder thoroughly or sift it before adding water if a bamboo whisk is unavailable.
- Adding sweetness is optional and can be done either to the matcha before mixing milk or directly to the milk.
