I loveeee the way matcha tastes. I don’t have it every day, but I seriously look forward to my matcha lattes – they’re so yummy. They are so incredibly easy to make at home and you also get the added benefit of knowing what is going into your latte. Ok let’s jump in – I hate when you are looking for a recipe and there is like a novel before it.
What you need:
. Matcha powder (I buy Navitas Organics brand – linked on my liketoknow)
. Honey, agave, coconut water, or any sweetener of your choice
. Milk (I use oat milk)
. Cinnamon (not crucial, but you probably have this anyways)
Optional: Milk frother, electric stirrer
What to do:
- Boil your water. You’re going to need super hot water so the matcha dissolves.
- While the water is boiling, you can begin preparing your mug. Put about a teaspoon of matcha powder into mug.
- You can now add the sweetener of your preference. I used honey, agave or coconut sugar to keep it more natural. The amount of sweetener you use is also up to you. I only add maybe a teaspoon of sweetener.
- Using the milk of your choice (I very specifically prefer Planet Oat oat milk), froth. You don’t have to froth your milk, but it definitely adds to the decadence of the latte. Don’t pour your frothed milk into the mug yet – we are just being efficient by having everything done.
- Water should be boiled at this point – fill up mug with the hot water. I have a little coffee/tea whisk that I use to mix the water, matcha and sweetener up. You literally could just use a spoon though. Once everything is mixed to my liking, Then pour in my frothed milk and then top with cinnamon (optional, but delicious).
I hope you enjoy the recipe! Tag me in your matcha latte pics on insta @laurmonds ❤
Until next time,
