Ingredients
- 25 cl milk (your choice of cow's milk, almond milk, soy milk, or other vegetable alternative)
- 1 tsp. matcha powder (ceremonial quality for an authentic taste)
- 2 tbsp. water, preferably non-calcareous (not boiling, ideally at 70-80°C)
- matcha whisk (chasen)
Directions
- Sieve the matcha powder to avoid lumps and obtain a smooth texture. Add the matcha powder to a bowl.
- Pour the hot water (70-80°C) over the sifted matcha powder. Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), mix vigorously in "M" strokes until light and frothy.
- Mix with water at 70°C and whisk with a chasen or electric matcha whisk.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk until it simmers and foams (or use a foamer).
- Pour the hot, frothed milk into a mug. Add the matcha mixture on top and stir gently. You can sweeten your matcha latte with honey or maple syrup, as you prefer, or enjoy it plain as in Japan!
- Sprinkle the top of your latte with a little matcha powder for decoration. Enjoy!
