A cup of bright green matcha latte with a creamy foam.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp. ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) hot water (around 70-80°C)
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) heated plant-based milk (almond, certified gluten-free oat, soy)
- 1-2 tsp of maple or agave syrup (to taste)
Preparation steps
- In a matcha bowl (or a small bowl), sift the matcha powder to avoid lumps.
- Add the hot water (not boiling) and whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small whisk until you obtain a light foam without lumps.
- Heat the plant-based milk in a saucepan or in the microwave. If you have a milk frother, froth the milk for a creamier texture.
- Add the maple (or agave) syrup to the hot milk and mix.
- Carefully pour the sweetened milk over the prepared matcha.
- Enjoy immediately.
Chef’s tip
For a perfect matcha latte, the water temperature is crucial: too hot water can burn the matcha and make it bitter. Use a thermometer if possible. For even denser foam, use an electric milk frother or hand blender.
