Total Time:5 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Coffee Mug Your favorite of course! ;-)
  • 1 Spoon for stirring
  • 1 Measuring teaspoon
  • 1 Small bowl To mix the Matcha.
  • 1 small strainer Optional but this helps to break up any clumps from the green tea matcha powder.
  • 1 Whisk Optional but this helps to break up any clumps from the green tea matcha powder.
  • 1 small saucepan This is used to heat up the milk but you can also use a microwave.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Green tea matcha powder Best if 100% organic.
  • 3-4 drops Stevia You can also use monkfruit or honey.
  • 1 cup Alternative milk I like organic soymilk, flax, or macadamia nut milk.
  • 3 tbsp Filtered water To mix the matcha and break up the clumps.

Instructions

  • Measure out 1C of alternative milk into your saucepan, and place it on the stove on medium heat. Stirring often, allow milk to heat up to desired temperature.
    NOTE: If you are in a hurry, you can place the milk directly into your mug and heat in the microwave until you have reached your desired temperature. Usually about 1-2 minutes.
  • While the milk is heating, measure 1tsp of green tea matcha powder, and stir it through the strainer into your small mixing bowl.
  • Add 3Tb of filtered water and whisk until the matcha powder is smooth and liquid without any clumps. NOTE: If you are not using a whisk, then use hot water to better dissolve the matcha powder.
  • When the milk is heated sufficiently, pour it into your mug and add sweetener.
  • Pour the now liquid green tea matcha on top of your sweetened milk, and stir to combine.
  • If desired, dust a bit of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice on top. Enjoy!

Notes

There are many different ways to make matcha green tea lattes, each person has their own style. This recipe is about as simple as it gets. You don't need an espresso machine or frother to froth your milk. Just a mug, spoon, and you are good to go!
You can also use any milk you prefer. My favorite alternative milk for latte's is organic soy milk because it has a slightly higher fat content than other milks, so it gives your latte a rich and creamy taste and texture. Other rich alternative milks are cashew and macadamia nut milks - delicious!
One final note. When purchasing matcha, look for the best quality you can afford to preserve all of its health benefits. Personally I look for 100% certified organic and ceremonial grade.
