Vanilla Matcha Latte
Creamy, sweet, and flavorful, this vanilla matcha latte is a simple and delicious drink you can make in no time. You can make this cafe favorite at home with just a handful of ingredients. This refreshing latte can be made iced or hot.
Ingredients
- 1½ teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- ¼ cup water 176°F (80°C, hot
- ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ to 1 cup milk or non dairy alternative
Instructions
- Using a fine-mesh strainer, sift the matcha into a small bowl and add the hot water to the bowl.
- Whisk the matcha vigorously in an M shape until the matcha is frothy and there are no clumps.
- In another vessel, combine the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- To a glass with ice, add the matcha and milk mixture. Stir to combine. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer a hot vanilla matcha latte, skip the ice and heat up your milk before adding the maple syrup and vanilla extract. I use my Smeg to heat up my milk but you can also bring it to a simmer on the stovetop.
