I love getting a nice hot matcha latte in the cool weather, but they can be a little pricy. So I have figured out how to make mine at home and make it exactly how I want and it’s much less expensive.
Preparing drinks for friends and family is one of my favorite things to do when I have people over. I love making people feel at home and it’s always nice to chat over a nice drink. This is one of my go-to’s because it comes together quickly and it’s so tasty.
Ingredients
- 12 oz milk (I use whole milk but feel free to use what ever milk or milk substitute you like)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder sifted (this isn’t completely necessary but it will make mixing it later much easier)
- 1-2 teaspoons hot water
- 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Directions
- Heat your milk in a sauce pan, taking care not to burn.
- While your milk is heating up, tiny whisk the water into your matcha powder so that is looks like a paste.
- Add matcha powder paste and maple syrup to the milk and then whisk or blend with a milk frother or immersion blender until frothy. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!
To Try: Cool your latte and pour over ice for a nice cool summer drink! I love a good iced matcha latte just as much as I love a hot one. Also, feel free to sweeten your matcha latte with whatever you like because everyone is different! I just like the natural sweetness of the maple syrup and you don’t need much.
