How to Make the Ultimate Matcha Tea Latte at Home

Spring is upon us and what better way to welcome the budding trees than with a little green? We’re talking about the iconic matcha green tea latte! Don’t get us wrong, matcha is a powerful stand-alone beverage and can be enjoyed solo. However, adding a little frothy milk and sweetness can add the perfect balance to its naturally bitter bite. We love a simple recipe like this one that produces delicious results.

The Ultimate Matcha Tea Latte

All you need are four simple and natural ingredients! The matcha tea is an antioxidant-filled, energy-boosting and delicious alternative to the traditional latte. Whether you’re new to matcha or a seasoned green tea connoisseur, try this DIY latte at home this week.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 tsp matcha powder (We recommend Imperial Matcha)

• 1 Tbsp Lynch Farm Maple Syrup  (available at the Covent Garden Market) or Honey Do Honey (available at The Tea Haus)

• 1 Tbsp hot water

• 3/4 cup milk (Cashew, Coconut etc.)

Instructions

1. Add matcha powder to your serving mug along with the maple syrup and hot water.
   

2. Whisk together with your bamboo matcha whisk until completely dissolved. If you don't have a bamboo whisk, you can use a spoon or a metal whisk. Bamboo whisks are gentle on the matcha and also help it dissolve more completely. Check out our matcha accessories if you’re interested.
   

3. Once the matcha is completely dissolved, heat your milk. There are a number of options to heat the milk including bringing to a boil on the stovetop, steaming on an espresso machine, or simply microwaving until hot. Whisk the mixture vigorously for a frothier latte.
   

4. Pour the milk into your mug. Stir and add more sweetener to taste. Enjoy!
