Vanilla Soy Matcha Latte
The Vanilla Soy Matcha Latte blends soy milk warmed with vanilla and maple syrup with bright green matcha powder whisked into hot water. This technique offers a creamy, subtly sweet latte with the earthiness of matcha balanced by the vanilla and maple. The frothy soy milk and carefully whisked matcha create a smooth, comforting drink served warm.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup soymilk or plant milk of choice, organic
- 1 tsp. matcha powder organic
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (more/less to desired sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract pure
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add milk.
- Bring to a very light boil, whisking occasionally (this helps create froth).
- Then add vanilla and maple syrup. Whisk to combine, then turn off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup water to about 160°F (71°C). In a bowl or wide mug, combine water and matcha. Whisk briskly back and forth to dissolve matcha. (I use a bamboo whisk.)
- Carefully pour milk into matcha and enjoy.
Notes
- Use any grade of matcha powder, ideally organic, with bright green color for best flavor and appearance.
- Whisk matcha briskly in hot but not boiling water to dissolve fully and avoid lumps.
- Adjust maple syrup for sweetness to personal taste.
