The Method to the Matcha Madness

Japanese ceremonial grade matcha is a type of powdered green tea. It's grown traditionally by shading the plants during the growth period enhancing the processes of synthesis and accumulation of biologically active compounds, including theanine, caffeine, chlorophyll, and various types of catechins.

This matcha latte recipe is super easy. It’s just three ingredients (and a tiny bit of sweetener, if you want), and you don’t need any fancy barista skills or equipment.

• 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of matcha powder

• 1/4 cup hot water

• 1 cup hot or cold milk

If you’re going to make many lattes you might want to invest in an official (and very cute) matcha whisk, but a small kitchen whisk or milk frother will foam it up just the same. Here’s how you do it:

1. Start by sifting your matcha powder. It clumps easily, and the clumps can be difficult to whisk away, so this step will help make your matcha latte smooth, creamy & lump-free.

2. Add the matcha to a mug, and pour in hot, recently boiled water over it. Whisk vigorously until the matcha green tea powder is fully dispersed. You want to move your whisk in an up-and-down or side-to-side motion, not the usual circular pattern, in order to get your matcha to foam.

3. Pour the warmed or cold milk of choice over the foamy water and whisk again to froth the milk.

4. Taste your latte and decide how much sweetener you want to add, if any. I like mine with a drop of maple syrup.

   
   

That’s it! Enjoy.
