Description
Love matcha but don’t love the price of buying your latte out? Whisk up this tasty homemade matcha latte in your own kitchen and save!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup soy milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 1 1/4 tsp matcha powder*
- 3/4 – 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp hot water
*Ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- Measure out your milk (you can pour the cold milk into your mug of choice if you’d like to make the exact amount you need). Add your milk to a medium pot and heat over medium low heat for 5 minutes or so. Stir frequently.
- While your milk warms up, add 1 ¼ tsp matcha powder to the bottom of your mug. Add maple syrup and hot tap water and use a matcha whisk or regular whisk to combine. When your matcha no longer has any clumps and looks frothy you’re good to go!
- When your milk is warm you will start seeing vapours of steam coming up. You don’t want your milk to boil, otherwise you can get an unpleasant skin of burnt milk on your latte.
- Remove the milk from the heat and use an immersion blender or other frothing device to froth it up, if desired.
- Pour the warm milk into your mug with the matcha mixture. Pour half way and twirl the mug a bit to make sure the two mix well, then top with the remaining milk and foam! Sip away!
Notes
*Cost Comparison: CAD $1.08 wholesale matcha, $1.30 bulk price, $2.12 health store. Vs. cafe $4-7.
*Feel free to add any additional flavourings like cinnamon or vanilla extract if desired.
*If using a matcha whisk, move the whisk in a “M” shape for best results as opposed to a circular whisking motion.
*If your stand blender can handle hot liquids you can carefully transfer the latte to your blender to froth it up and then pour into your mug.
