Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp Matcha powder
  • 1/2 cup Hot or cold water
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 2 tsp Sweetener or vanilla flavor

Equipment

  • Tall glass
  • Mesh strainer
  • Ballon whisker

Method
 

  1. Use a strainer and separate impurities and lumps from your matcha powder.
  2. Use a balloon whisker and whisk your matcha powder a little.
  3. Pour in some hot or cold water and give it a gentle mix. This will maintain the consistency of the matcha.
  4. Once done, add this matcha solution, milk, water, and sweetener to a tall glass and give it a gentle stir.
  5. Refrigerate the drink if you want a cold latte.
  6. Add ice cubes to the beverage and give a gentle stir. Once done, your iced matcha latte is ready to serve.
Quick tips
  1. Since you’re making the drink from the scratch at your place, you have full liberty to customize it. Want it sweet? Add more sweetener and vice versa.
  2. Remember that matcha powder is green in color. A vibrant green color denotes a better quality of matcha powder.
  3. Starbucks generally uses only 2% milk in its matcha latte. You can use it at your convenience.
  4. Use filtered water to freeze ice.
  5. If you don’t want to buy a sweetener separately, buy sweetened matcha powder but note that it’ll be a little pale in color.
  6. Matcha powder creates lumps. Use a mesh strainer to avoid lumps.
  7. Go for fresh cold milk to get a creamy consistency.
  8. Don’t get confused between matcha powder and matcha premixes. Both are super different, and always choose matcha powder over matcha premixes to get the real taste of matcha in your beverage.
  9. If you want to store matcha solution for future use, double or triple the ingredients and store it in a mason jar. You can reserve this solution for a week.
