Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your favorite glass or mug. Pour 2 tablespoons of your chosen syrup (vanilla or plain) into the bottom of the cup. You can adjust the amount of syrup to control the sweetness to your preference.
Step 2
Next, fill the cup about halfway with ice. This is essential for a refreshing green tea latte. Using plenty of ice also helps prevent the drink from becoming too diluted as it melts.
Step 3
Slowly pour 200ml of cold milk into the cup. Using cold milk will enhance the flavor and creaminess of your latte. You can use regular milk or low-fat milk for a smooth texture.
Step 4
In a small bowl or cup, combine 50ml of hot water with 5 teaspoons of high-quality green tea powder. Sift the powder to prevent clumps, then whisk thoroughly with a small whisk or wooden stick until smooth and fully dissolved. Pre-dissolving the green tea powder ensures it blends seamlessly into the latte without any lumps.
Step 5
Gently pour the dissolved green tea mixture into the cup. Using a spoon or bar spoon, stir everything together until the milk, green tea, and syrup are well combined. Make sure to scrape the sides of the cup to incorporate any clinging green tea for an even flavor.
Step 6
Now for the fun part – decorating! Top your latte generously with whipped cream or heavy cream. If you’d like extra sweetness, drizzle some sweetened condensed milk over the cream in a zigzag pattern. Finish by sprinkling strawberry cookie crunch for a delightful texture and scattering freeze-dried strawberry chips for a pop of color and flavor. For a festive touch, add a Christmas tree pick or other decorative toppers to complete your enchanting Winter Green Tea Latte!
