Ingredients
Matcha Mixture
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup warm water
To Serve
- Ice
- Milk of choice (e.g., almond milk)
- Optional: simple syrup for sweetness
Instructions
- Whisk Matcha: In a measuring cup or bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of matcha powder with 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk thoroughly until the matcha fully dissolves and forms a smooth paste.
- Add Water and Chill: Pour in an additional 1 cup of warm water and stir well. Transfer the mixture to the fridge or freezer to chill for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill two glasses with ice and pour milk of your choice until each glass is about three-quarters full. Add simple syrup at this stage if you prefer your latte sweetened.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the chilled matcha mixture over the milk and ice in each glass. Stir gently to combine and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use a bamboo whisk or milk frother for a smoother matcha paste.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your sweetness preference.
- For a creamier latte, use full-fat milk or oat milk.
- Chilling the matcha mixture beforehand enhances the refreshing quality of the latte.
- Matcha powder should be high quality and vibrantly green for the best flavor.
