Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon 2 g matcha powder (culinary grade)
- 2 fl oz about 60 ml hot water (approximately 175°F / 80°C)
- ¾ cup about 180 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon milk and honey or sweetener of your choice
Instructions
- Sift the matcha: Pass the japanese green tea powder through a fine sieve into a small bowl to eliminate clumps.
- Add hot water: Carefully pour the hot (not boiling) water over the sifted matcha.
- Whisk until frothy: Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or handheld frother to whisk vigorously in a “W” motion, creating a light foam.
- Warm the milk: Heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave, avoiding boiling.
- Combine and sweeten: Pour the warmed milk into the whisked matcha and stir in milk and honey (or your preferred sweetener) to taste.
- Optional – Iced version: For a chilled latte, add ice cubes to a glass and use cold-frothed milk instead of warm milk.

Notes
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder based on your flavor preference—use less for a milder taste or more for a stronger matcha flavor.
- If lumps remain, sift the matcha powder again or whisk longer.
- Whole milk or a rich plant-based alternative (like oat milk) will yield a creamier texture.
