Matcha Latte Recipe
Craving a frothy, cafe-style matcha latte at home? This easy Matcha Latte Recipe brings you homemade delicious green tea goodness—healthy, creamy, and ready in under five minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon ceremonial-grade matcha powder look for bright green color, fine grind; culinary grade works, but may taste earthier
- 2 oz hot water 175 °F/80 °C - avoid boiling water to keep bitterness at bay
- 8 oz milk of choice whole milk, oat, almond, soy - top picks for creamy foam
- 1/2 teaspoon sweetener honey, maple syrup, cane sugar - adjust to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional for extra warmth
- 1 teaspoon collagen peptides or unflavored protein powder optional booster for a protein kick
Instructions
- Place the powder in a small bowl or mug through a fine-mesh strainer to remove lumps.
- Pour hot water slowly over the matcha, avoiding scorching the powder.
- Use a whisk or electric frother in an 'M' or 'W' shape until foamy emerald-green crema forms.
- Heat milk until warm but not boiling, froth until doubled in volume with silky microfoam.
- Pour steamed milk into matcha, finish with foam on top.
- Stir in sweetener, then dust with matcha powder or cinnamon for a café-style flourish.
Notes
Ceremonial matcha is smoother and less bitter; aim for 175 °F water temperature; use bamboo whisk for best texture; pre-mix matcha with water to avoid lumps; store matcha in fridge for freshness; try oat barista milk for creaminess; adjust matcha and water ratio for bitterness.
