Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Mixture
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup warm water
To Serve
- Ice cubes
- Milk of choice (e.g., almond milk) – about 1 cup
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Paste: In a measuring cup or bowl, add the matcha powder. Pour in 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water and whisk vigorously until the matcha powder is fully dissolved and a smooth paste is formed.
- Make Matcha Latte Base: Pour the remaining 1 cup of warm water into the matcha paste and stir thoroughly to combine. Place the mixture in the fridge or freezer to chill for approximately 15 minutes.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Add milk of your choice to each glass, then pour the chilled matcha mixture over the ice and milk. Stir well to blend everything together and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use water that is hot but not boiling to avoid burning the matcha and creating a bitter taste.
- Adjust the milk quantity and type depending on your preference for creaminess and flavor.
- Chilling the matcha mixture before serving enhances the refreshing quality of the latte.
- For a sweeter version, add a sweetener like honey, agave syrup, or sugar when mixing the matcha paste.
