Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of your choice I used unsweetened soy milk
- ¼ cup boiling water
- 1 teaspoon matcha tea powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until hot (for about 3-5 minutes), stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- Combine the boiling water, the matcha tea powder, the maple syrup, and the ground cinnamon in a small bowl until well mixed. I used a bamboo whisk.
- Pour the milk into a mug, add the matcha tea mixture, and stir until well combined.
- Serve it warm or keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or in a saucepan until warm.
Notes
- Feel free to use your favorite plant milk. Soy milk is my favorite choice for this recipe, although I also really enjoy it with almond milk or coconut milk.
- You can replace the maple syrup with any other kind of sweetener, or simply don't add any if you don't want to.
- Vanilla extract and ground cinnamon are optional, but they give the matcha latte a great flavor.
- If you don't want to give it up during the summertime, you can also enjoy this delicious beverage with some ice if it’s really hot outside.
- To enjoy the matcha experience to the fullest, I do love to use my traditional bamboo whisk. It is so easy to use! However, you can also use a fork, a spoon, or any other whisk you have on hand (you could also blend all the ingredients in a regular blender or add all the ingredients to a jar and shake it until well combined).
