Matcha Latte
I love how this Matcha Latte is not only a vibrant green but also brings a peaceful, energizing vibe to my mornings.
I remember the first time I tried matcha at a cozy little café in Kyoto.
It was such a calming experience, sipping that warm, frothy drink while watching the world go by.
Since then, I’ve made it a ritual to whip up my own version at home.
I adore this recipe because it's simple, nourishing, and gives me a gentle boost without the jitters of coffee.
Plus, it's a great way to enjoy the antioxidant benefits of matcha while savoring a moment of mindfulness.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I always look for organic matcha as it tends to be richer in flavor and nutrients. If you’re avoiding sweeteners, feel free to skip the maple syrup, or if you want a different kind of sweetness, try a bit of agave nectar. You can also explore different plant milks to find your favorite combo - coconut milk adds a lovely tropical twist!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my matcha powder in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh for longer.
- •When whisking, try to create a 'W' shape for the best froth.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice kick.
- •If I'm in the mood for something sweet, I’ll toss in some cocoa powder for a chocolate matcha latte.
Storage & Freezing
This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good stir before drinking, as the matcha can settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a regular whisk for matcha?
Absolutely! Just make sure to whisk well to break up clumps. A bamboo whisk is traditional, but a regular whisk works just fine.
What if I don’t have a frother?
No problem! Just whisk vigorously in the saucepan, or put the warm milk in a jar with a lid and shake it up for a frothy result!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by sifting the matcha powder into a small bowl. This helps to avoid clumps and gives you a smoother latte.
- 2
Add the hot water to the bowl with matcha. Using a bamboo whisk (or a regular whisk if you don’t have one), whisk in a zig-zag motion until the matcha is dissolved and a light foam forms on top.
- 3
In a small saucepan, heat your plant milk over medium heat until it's warm but not boiling. If you want it extra frothy, you can use a frother for this step.
- 4
Once the milk is heated, pour it into the matcha mixture. If you're adding maple syrup and vanilla, stir them in now.
- 5
Give it a gentle stir to combine everything, then sip and enjoy your homemade matcha latte!
