Green Tea Latte | Green Tea Ingredients- 5g High-quality Matcha Powder
- 10g Granulated Sugar (up to 20g, to taste)
- 200ml Fresh Milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by placing 5g of high-quality matcha powder into your preferred cup or mug. The quality of your matcha powder significantly impacts the final flavor, so using a good brand is recommended.
Step 2
Next, add 10g of granulated sugar. If you have a sweeter tooth, feel free to increase this to 20g. My partner enjoys it with 20g! If you have liquid sweetener or honey on hand, you can substitute it for sugar or add about 1 tablespoon along with the sugar for a unique twist.
Step 3
Now, gradually pour in 30g of hot water and whisk thoroughly to dissolve the matcha powder and sugar. It’s crucial to ensure there are no clumps and that it forms a smooth paste.
Step 4
The smooth, well-dissolved matcha and sugar base is now ready. It’s time to add the milk to this delicious foundation.
Step 5
Gently pour 100ml of warm fresh milk over the prepared matcha base. When warming the milk, aim for a temperature around 60-70°C (140-158°F) – not too hot. This is the first step towards your creamy latte.
Step 6
Finally, top off your latte with 100ml of warm milk that has been frothed using a French press. If you don’t have a French press, a handheld frother or even a whisk can be used to create foam. This step creates the luscious, cafe-style foam for your green tea latte.
Step 7
Voila! Your delicious green tea latte is complete. Today, instead of coffee, I decided to make this as a refreshing morning drink to enjoy the invigorating qualities of green tea. The balance of green tea’s subtle bitterness and the creaminess of the milk will surely start your day off right. Feel free to adjust the sweetness and milk quantity to your preference and savor your perfect homemade green tea latte!
