Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sift the matcha green tea powder to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling) to the matcha powder. Whisk the matcha and water together until the powder is fully dissolved and a smooth, frothy green paste forms. This can be done using a bamboo matcha whisk or a small electric hand frother.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. You can also use a milk frother if you have one.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the dissolved matcha paste into a serving mug.
Step 6
Slowly pour the hot almond milk mixture over the matcha paste, stirring gently to combine.
Step 7
If desired, use a milk frother to create a layer of foam on top for a classic latte presentation.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy, dairy-free matcha latte!
