Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Start by sifting the matcha green tea powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
Step 2
Add the 2 tablespoons of hot water to the bowl with matcha powder. The water should be just below boiling at around 175°F (80°C).
Step 3
Using a bamboo whisk or a small regular whisk, vigorously mix the matcha and water until completely dissolved and you see a fine foam on top.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally.
Step 5
Once the almond milk is hot, remove it from the heat. If you prefer a frothy latte, use a milk frother or whisk to foam the milk to your desired texture.
Step 6
Pour the dissolved matcha mixture into your serving cup.
Step 7
Slowly pour the hot almond milk into the matcha mixture, holding back the froth with a spoon if you prefer to add it last.
Step 8
Gently stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract to sweeten and flavor the latte.
Step 9
Top with the reserved milk froth if desired, and enjoy your Vegan Classic Matcha Latte immediately!
