How to Make Matcha Latte

Matcha lattes are one of the most delicious and versatile ways to enjoy Japanese green tea. Smooth, creamy, and packed with antioxidants, they can be enjoyed hot on a cozy morning or iced for a refreshing afternoon boost. The best part? With high-quality matcha powder, you can make café-style lattes right at home.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder

  • 2 oz hot water (about 175°F, not boiling)

  • 6–8 oz milk of your choice (oat, almond, soy, or dairy)

  • Optional sweetener (honey, agave, vanilla, or simple syrup)

  • Ice cubes (for the cold version)

Hot Matcha Latte

  1. Sift & Whisk
    Sift your matcha into a bowl or cup to remove clumps. Add hot water and whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion until smooth and slightly frothy.

  2. Warm the Milk
    Heat your milk until warm (not boiling). Froth if you prefer a creamy texture.

  3. Combine
    Pour the matcha into your mug, add the warm milk, and sweeten to taste.

✨ Result: A cozy, smooth drink that feels like a warm hug in a cup.

Cold Matcha Latte

  1. Sift & Whisk
    Just like the hot version, whisk your matcha with hot water until smooth and frothy.

  2. Prepare the Glass
    Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in your milk of choice. Stir in sweetener if you’d like.

  3. Pour Over
    Slowly pour your whisked matcha over the iced milk and enjoy the vibrant green swirl.

✨ Result: A refreshing, creamy boost of energy — perfect for warm days.
