How to make a matcha latte.
Enjoying matcha with milk.
A matcha latte brings together the aroma of matcha and the texture of milk. The result changes with the matcha, milk and level of sweetness you choose. Begin with small adjustments to find a strength you enjoy.
Prepare ingredients and tools
Set out matcha, a little water, milk of your choice, a chasen or small whisk, and a cup. If you want sweetness, prepare your preferred sugar or syrup.
Make the matcha smooth
Sifting matcha can help prevent lumps. Add a small amount of water and whisk until smooth. Check the guidance for your matcha as well, especially for water amount and temperature.
Combine with warmed milk
Warm the milk to your preferred temperature and add it gradually to the matcha. Changing the amount of milk changes how strong the matcha feels. Add sweetness a little at a time.
Adapt the method for an iced latte
For an iced version, still mix the matcha well with a little water first, then add cold milk and ice. If you notice separation or lumps, revisit the order in which you combine the ingredients.
