This hot and delicious matcha latte is simple and quick to make at home. It might even make you consider replacing your normal morning latte with matcha latte!

Ingredients

• Use this matcha tea - 1 heaped teaspoon
• Warm water - 80 degrees Celsius (175 degrees Fahrenheit) - 50 ml
• Milk - frothed or steamed - 150 ml (three quarter cup)

How to make

1. Sift or put matcha powder into a cup. 
2. Pour warm water (80 degree C or 175 degree F) into the cup.
   • Tip: Cup with wide base is preferred as it gives enough space for proper whisking and there is less risk of the cup tipping over. Japanese tea ceremonies use Chawan bowls to drink Matcha tea. These are wide and do not have handles. At home, any cup or glass with wide based is good to use.
3. Whisk vigorously until there are no lumps of matcha and uniform foam or fine froth with tiny bubbles is formed.
   • Tip: Preferably use Japanese style bamboo whisk, called chasen, which gives perfect consistency. But if you do not have chasen, normal kitchen manual or hand-held powered whisk can be used.
4. Add warm, frothed or steamed milk and serve

This cafe style matcha latte can be prepared in 5 mins. It is smooth, refreshing, healthy and rejuvenating.

Additional Tips

• Enhance your experience with a sprinkle of this matcha or cinnamon on top
• You can use any additional sweetener of choice like stevia, rapadura sugar, maple syrup
• If allergic to normal milk or vegan option is preferred, use Oat, Almond, or coconut milk. Oat milk specifically goes well in matcha latte

Relax and Enjoy!
