Ingredients

• 1 teaspoons Matcha powder
• 60 milliliters Hot water
• 240 milliliters Milk (your choice of dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoons Honey or sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl or mug. Sifting helps to avoid any lumps in your drink.

Step 2

Add 60 milliliters of hot water (around 80°C or 176°F) to the matcha powder. Avoid using boiling water to preserve the flavor and nutritional benefits.

Step 3

Whisk the matcha and hot water together using a bamboo whisk or a small metal whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Whisk in a zigzag motion for better consistency.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, heat 240 milliliters of milk over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Alternatively, use a milk frother to warm and froth the milk simultaneously.

Step 5

Add 1 teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener to the milk and stir until completely dissolved. You can adjust the sweetness to taste.

Step 6

Optionally, stir in 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract for added aroma and flavor.

Step 7

Pour the milk into the matcha mixture while stirring or pouring in a circular motion to create a nice blend and a frothy top.

Step 8

Serve immediately while the matcha latte is warm and enjoy your soothing cup of matcha bliss.
