Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder to remove any clumps.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water to the matcha powder. Use a small whisk or a bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) to whisk the mixture vigorously in a zigzag motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Alternatively, you can microwave the milk for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
If using a frother, froth the warm milk to create a light, airy texture. This step is optional but adds a creamy finish.
Step 5
Pour the frothed or warmed milk into your cup with the whisked matcha. Stir gently to combine.
Step 6
If desired, add 1 teaspoon of honey or a sweetener of choice to taste and mix well.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade green tea latte!
