Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Blend
- 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon hot water (just under boiling, about 175°F)
Milk Mixture
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Sift and whisk matcha: Add 1 teaspoon sifted matcha powder into a small bowl. Pour in 1 tablespoon hot water heated to about 175°F and whisk quickly in a zigzag motion until the matcha becomes frothy and smooth.
- Heat milk and cinnamon: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup milk and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Warm the mixture gently until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
- Sweeten the milk: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup until fully dissolved and evenly incorporated.
- Combine and serve: Pour the whisked matcha into your serving mug. Slowly add the hot cinnamon-infused milk, stirring gently to combine. Finish by dusting the top with extra ground cinnamon if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a fine mesh sieve to sift the matcha powder to prevent clumps and ensure a smooth latte.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste or omit honey/maple syrup for a purely natural flavor.
- For a frothier latte, use a milk frother or whisk the milk vigorously before combining.
- Matcha is best enjoyed fresh for maximum flavor and antioxidant benefits.
- Non-dairy milks such as almond, oat, or soy work well and provide different flavor profiles.
