Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup or your preferred sweetener
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder
  • 4 –8 ounces unsweetened soy or oat milk
  • 1/3 cup hot water ensure it is below boiling; refer to your matcha packaging for the recommended temperature

Method
 

  1. Warm the milk. Pour your choice of oat or soy milk into a microwave-safe mug and heat it in the microwave for about 60 to 90 seconds until it’s gently warmed. Alternatively, warm it on the stovetop in a small saucepan over medium heat or use the steam wand of an espresso machine. Adjust the milk quantity based on your preference for a stronger or milder matcha latte.
  2. Sift the matcha. Using a fine mesh strainer, sift the matcha powder into a small bowl—ideally, a traditional matcha bowl—to remove any clumps and ensure a silky texture.
  3. Whisk with hot water. Add the hot water to the matcha powder, along with the sweetener if you’re using one. With a bamboo whisk, briskly whisk the mixture in a zigzag motion, creating a smooth, frothy consistency. This should take about 15–20 seconds.
  4. Combine and serve. Pour the whisked matcha mixture into the warmed milk. Stir gently to blend the flavors thoroughly. Sip and enjoy your creamy, invigorating matcha latte!

Notes

  • Matcha Powder: Opt for ceremonial-grade matcha for superior quality and flavor. Look for a vibrant green hue, a fresh earthy scent, and a finely ground texture. It should taste smooth and earthy without bitterness.
  • Hot Water: Maintain the water temperature between 150°F and 160°F for the best results. Alternatively, follow the temperature guidelines on your matcha packaging for precise recommendations.
  • Storage: Enjoy this vegan matcha latte fresh and warm for the best experience. If storing, transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to 48 hours.
  • Reheating: Warm leftovers gently until heated through, or serve over ice for a refreshing chilled version.
