Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water (about 175°F or 80°C)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon sweetener (like maple syrup or honey, optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or a matcha bowl (chawan).
- Pour the hot water over the sifted matcha.
- Whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk (chasen) in a ‘W’ or ‘M’ motion until the matcha is frothy and smooth, with no clumps remaining.
- If using a small electric frother, you can use that instead of whisking.
- Pour the almond milk into a separate mug or glass.
- Gently pour the prepared matcha shot over the almond milk.
- If you prefer it iced, add ice cubes before pouring the matcha.
- Add your preferred sweetener, if using, and stir gently to combine.
- Enjoy your energizing latte immediately.
Notes
- Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and color.
- Do not use boiling water; temperatures above 180°F can make the matcha taste bitter.
- You can gently heat the almond milk before mixing for a warm latte.
- For extra froth, you can lightly steam or froth the almond milk separately.
