Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot water (not boiling)
- 1 cup Dairy-free milk (such as almond, oat, or soy)
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by sifting the matcha powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (heated to about 175℉/80℃, not boiling) to the bowl with the matcha.
Step 3
Use a bamboo whisk or milk frother to whisk the matcha and water together, forming a smooth paste. This ensures a lump-free latte.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour 1 cup of your chosen dairy-free milk.
Step 5
Warm the milk, stirring occasionally, until it is steaming, but not boiling.
Step 6
If using, add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or agave nectar and 0.25 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the milk, and stir to combine.
Step 7
Pour the warm milk into the matcha paste while whisking continuously to ensure it is well mixed and frothy.
Step 8
Taste the latte and, if desired, adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup or agave nectar.
Step 9
Pour your dairy-free matcha latte into a mug and enjoy it hot.
