Description
A cozy, creamy latte combining earthy matcha with the natural sweetness of honey. Nourishing, energizing, and perfect for morning routines or calm afternoons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder (high quality)
- 2 teaspoons raw honey (adjust to taste)
- 2–3 tablespoons hot water (~175°F/80°C)
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or plant-based: oat, almond, or soy)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Sift matcha powder into a small bowl to remove clumps.
- Add hot water and whisk briskly in a “W” motion until frothy.
- Stir in honey while warm so it dissolves easily.
- Warm milk in a saucepan or froth until hot and foamy.
- Pour milk over the matcha-honey mix and stir gently.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon or serve iced over ice cubes if preferred.
Notes
Use sifted matcha and warm (not boiling) water for the smoothest texture. For dairy-free, try barista oat or almond milk. Adjust honey to taste and explore adding seasonal spices like nutmeg or cardamom.
