Instructions
- Measure 1 teaspoon matcha into a wide-bottomed mug or bowl.
- Heat 1/4 cup (60 ml) hot water to 80°C / 175°F (not boiling) and heat 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened, high-fat almond milk to 65°C / 150°F. Use a thermometer or a method you trust to reach these temperatures.
- Add a small amount of the 80°C / 175°F water (from the measured 1/4 cup) to the matcha to form a smooth paste.
- Whisk the paste vigorously with a bamboo whisk (or a small whisk) until there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth and lightly foamy.
- Pour the remaining hot water from the 1/4 cup into the matcha and whisk briefly to combine and create a thin layer of foam.
- Froth the warmed 3/4 cup almond milk with an electric milk frother (or another frothing method) until light and foamy.
- Pour the frothed almond milk over the matcha, holding back or spooning on foam as desired to finish.
Notes
Notes
0.7g net carbs per matcha latte. Makes 1 cup (240ml).
**If you don't have the matcha whisk, press the matcha tea powder through a small sieve. This will help get rid of any clumps. Then, whisk vigorously using a ballon whisk.
***If you don't have the milk frother, blend the warm milk in a high speed blender or smoothie blender. A regular kitchen whisk will also create some foam.
Don't use boiling water. It scorches the matcha powder and ruins the taste. Also, i
f the milk is hotter than recommended, it will not become foamy.
Option to add a sugar free syrup or powdered sweetener to the drink. It's also nice to add a pinch of cinnamon or ground ginger.
