Matcha Latte
A vibrant and energizing green tea latte, featuring finely whisked matcha powder combined with steamed milk. A popular modern Japanese beverage.
🧂 Інгредієнти
- 1.5 tsp Ceremonial grade matcha powder(Using ceremonial grade matcha will yield a smoother flavor and brighter color. Sifting is crucial to prevent clumps.)
- 30 ml Hot water(Water should be hot but not boiling, ideally around 70-80°C (158-176°F). Boiling water can scald the matcha and create a bitter taste.)
- 200 ml Milk(Any milk can be used (dairy, almond, oat, soy). Whole milk will create a richer latte, while plant-based milks can offer different flavor profiles.)
- to taste Sweetener(Optional. Sugar, honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar can be used to adjust sweetness.)
👨🍳 Інструкції

Sift the matcha powder directly into a small bowl or matcha bowl (chawan). This is a critical step to ensure a smooth, lump-free latte. Use a fine-mesh sieve.
⏱️ 1 minute - 2
Add the hot water (around 70-80°C / 158-176°F) to the sifted matcha. Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), vigorously whisk the matcha and water in a 'W' or 'M' motion. Continue whisking for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely dissolved and a fine, frothy foam forms on the surface. Ensure no dry clumps of matcha remain at the bottom.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Heat and froth the milk. If using a steam wand on an espresso machine, steam the milk until it reaches a temperature of approximately 60-65°C (140-150°F) and has a velvety microfoam. Alternatively, heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling, or use a milk frother. Avoid overheating the milk, as this can affect its flavor.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Pour the steamed milk into the bowl with the whisked matcha. If desired, add your preferred sweetener (sugar, honey, etc.) to the milk before combining or stir it into the finished latte. Gently pour the milk over the matcha mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon if you want to pour the liquid first and top with foam. Stir gently to combine.
