Make a warm and creamy Matcha Almond Milk Latte. This recipe offers a soothing beverage choice when you crave something comforting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or mug.
  2. Add the hot water to the matcha powder.
  3. Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk or small electric frother until the matcha is completely dissolved and slightly frothy, creating a smooth paste.
  4. Heat the almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm, or microwave until hot. Do not boil.
  5. Stir the sweetener into the warmed almond milk until dissolved.
  6. Pour the sweetened almond milk into your serving mug.
  7. Slowly pour the prepared matcha mixture over the almond milk.
  8. Gently whisk or stir the latte to combine the layers.
  9. 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.
