Matcha Latte
A recipe for a Matcha Latte (抹茶ラテ) inspired by our time in Shinjuku, Tokyo! Matcha is blended with hot water, then combined with milk for a warming drink.
Servings 1 Serving
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (2 grams) matcha green tea powder, sifted
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar optional
- 3 tablespoons (44 milliliters) hot water
- 3/4 cup (177 milliliters) milk dairy or non-dairy, steamed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the sifted matcha and optionally the sugar if using in the hot water until completely dissolved and smooth with no clumps remaining.
- Pour the dissolved matcha mixture into desired heat-safe glass or mug.
- While holding the glass slightly to the side at a 45˚ angle, slowly pour the steamed milk in the center to fill the mug and add a thin layer of the foam to the top.
