Almond Matcha Green Tea Latte Recipes

ALMOND MATCHA GREEN TEA LATTE

Steps:

• If you are using a bamboo whisk, soften the tines by soaking in hot water. A metal whisk also works.
• Place one teaspoon matcha green tea powder in a bowl.
• Pour hot water over matcha and whisk vigorously until frothy. Using a "W" motion helps.
• Heat your milk (I like almond or soy milk. Coconut milk is good, too, but I have found it does not froth up as nicely) to 140°F - 160°F on the stovetop and use a whisk to froth - I like to use an electric milk frother.
• Sweeten to taste with maple syrup, honey, or sugar.
• Enjoy immediately.

MATCHA GREEN TEA LATTE STARBUCKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Boil the water and let it cool for a few minutes. You don't want it to be too hot, or it will cook the matcha powder.
• Add the matcha powder to a mug and pour in the water. Whisk together until the powder is completely dissolved.
• Heat the milk in a small saucepan on the stove or microwave. I like to froth my milk using an electric frother, but you can also use a handheld frother or heat it until it's hot and bubbly.
• Add the hot milk to the matcha mixture and sweeten it with honey or your choice of sweetener. Add the vanilla extract and stir everything together.
• Enjoy as is or top with a little bit of foam from the milk. You can also garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder.
