Ingredients
- 60 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- 240 ml Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Honey or low-calorie sweetener (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Boil 60 ml of water and let it cool for a minute to avoid scorching the matcha powder.
Step 2
Place 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder in a small bowl or a wide mug.
Step 3
Pour the hot water over the matcha powder and whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion until the matcha is completely dissolved and a foam forms on top. This can be done using a bamboo matcha whisk or an electric frother.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, heat 240 ml of low-fat milk over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent film formation.
Step 5
Use a milk frother or hand whisk to create some froth in the heated milk, if desired.
Step 6
Pour the frothed milk over the matcha mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to pour over the top later.
Step 7
Stir the latte gently to combine and top with the reserved milk foam.
Step 8
For additional sweetness, stir in 1 teaspoon of honey or a low-calorie sweetener to taste.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy low-fat matcha latte.
