Ingredients
- 1-2 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon hot water Note 1
- 1 cup almond milk Note 2
- ½ teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Scoop matcha powder into a bowl.
- Add just a little bit of hot water, about 1 tablespoon or so. If you add too much water, it’ll be hard to get rid of all the lumps. If you have, use a bamboo whisk (chasen), but I usually use a small flexible silicone baby spoon, which works perfectly.
- For hot latte, warm the almond milk.
- Using a milk frother, froth the hot almond milk with honey.
- Then add the milk into the prepared matcha paste. And enjoy!

Notes
Note 1: Make sure to use hot but not boiling water, or it'll burn the delicate matcha powder, making it bitter. The ideal water temperature for making matcha tea is between 160°F and 175°F (70°C to 80°C).
Note 2: You may use any milk, but I prefer almond milk. I microwave it for 2 minutes to warm it up.
For an iced matcha latte, I thin out the matcha paste with an extra 1–2 tablespoons of water before mixing it with ice, cold milk, and honey.
