Equipment

  • Whisk or milk frother
  • Small bowl
  • Saucepan or microwave For heating milk
  • Mug or cup For serving

Ingredients
  

For the Latte Base

  • 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 2 cups milk of your choice

For Sweetening

  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Matcha

  • In a small bowl, combine matcha powder with hot water. Whisk vigorously until smooth and no lumps remain.
  • Tip: Use a bamboo whisk for the best results, as it helps to aerate the matcha and achieve a creamy texture.

Heat the Milk

  • In a saucepan, gently heat the milk until warm, but not boiling. Alternatively, you can use the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Tip: For a frothy latte, consider using a milk frother or whisking the milk vigorously.

Combine and Sweeten

  • In a large mug, pour the whisked matcha and add honey. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.

Froth and Pour

  • Pour the warmed milk over the matcha mixture, holding back the froth with a spoon. Finish by spooning the froth on top for that beautiful latte finish.
  • Tip: For an extra touch, sprinkle some additional matcha on top for a decorative effect.

Notes

Pro tips:
  1. Use ceremonial grade matcha for a richer, more vibrant flavor.
  2. Adjust honey to taste, depending on how sweet you prefer your latte.
  3. For a refreshing twist, use almond or oat milk, which adds a nutty flavor to the drink.
  4. Experiment with flavored honeys, like lavender or chamomile, for a unique sip.
  5. Enjoy your honey matcha latte warm, or chill it over ice for a refreshing cold drink.
