Make Matcha Latte yourself: The recipe
Just mix everything together and you're done? Unfortunately, making your own matcha latte is not that easy. If you do not prepare it properly, the powder does not dissolve. This gives bitter green lumps.
- 250 ml almond milk (alternative: soy, rice or regular milk)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 3 tablespoons warm water
Homemade Matcha Latte: The Instructions
- Pour the matcha powder into a small bowl or cup.
- Stir the powder with warm water (not more than 80 °, otherwise the matcha becomes bitter!). It dissolves best with a bamboo whisk.
- Heat the milk in a saucepan and whisk until frothy. You can either do this with the coffee maker. Or use a milk frother or snow cans.
- The frothed milk goes into the glass
- The matcha espresso comes carefully over the milk. Best with a spoon, then you have beautiful layers :)
You can sweeten with Agave syrup* or Coconut blossom sugar*.
What distinguishes Matcha Latte from Matcha Tea?
While the tea is poured with hot water, the matcha latte is prepared with milk. This makes not only a difference in color. The taste of matcha latte is also different.
Matcha Latte tastes milder and creamier thanks to the milk. So if the slightly bitter taste of the Matcha powder with water has bothered you, you have now certainly found the more pleasant Matcha variant for yourself.
You can make your own Matcha Latte with normal milk. Vegans and lactose intolerant people use soy or almond milk for the homemade Matcha Latte. Basically, you can mix the in drink with any milk.
How does matcha latte taste? Deliciously nutty especially if you mix it with almond milk :)
Where does the hype about matcha latte come from?
Let's quickly get to the bottom of the history of matcha latte. Originally, Buddhist monks prepared the green tea powder. Somewhat later, matcha became the favorite drink of the samurai and thus an integral part of Japanese culture. Even today, matcha is an important part of the Japanese tea ceremony.
And then? In recent years, the pick-me-up powder from the leaf tips of Tencha tea has also arrived in our country.
One reason for this are the dear celebrities. More and more often, paparazzi photographed them with frothy green matcha lattes in the streets of Hollywood. The photos soon ended up in the tabloids. And everyone wondered: Can you make your own matcha latte?
Yes, you can. Goes even very simple as you see :)
Our conclusion
Making your own matcha latte is not an art if you pay attention to a few little things. Once you've got this down, a latte with matcha powder is just as quick to prepare as a coffee.
