- 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (e.g., maple syrup or honey), adjust to taste
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional, for topping)
- Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or mug.
- Add the hot water to the matcha powder.
- Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk or small electric frother until the matcha is completely dissolved and slightly frothy, creating a smooth paste.
- Heat the almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm, or microwave until hot. Do not boil.
- Stir the sweetener into the warmed almond milk until dissolved.
- Pour the sweetened almond milk into your serving mug.
- Slowly pour the prepared matcha mixture over the almond milk.
- Gently whisk or stir the latte to combine the layers.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon if desired. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor.
- Water temperature is key; water that is too hot can make the matcha taste bitter. Aim for water between 170°F and 185°F.
- If you prefer a foamier top, use a milk frother on the almond milk before adding the matcha.
