How to Make a Green Tea Latte with Matcha

If you’re looking for a creamy, nutritious, and vibrant drink to replace your morning coffee, a Matcha latte is the perfect choice. Unlike regular green tea, Matcha is a finely ground Japanese green tea powder that delivers a more intense flavour and an array of health benefits. 

Making your own Matcha latte at home is easier than you think, and it only requires a few ingredients. Here’s how you can enjoy this delightful beverage while embracing the rich tradition of Japanese green tea in Australia. 

 

Ingredients and Equipment

Ingredients: 

  • 1 teaspoon of high-quality Matcha powder 
  • 200ml milk (dairy or plant-based) 
  • Sweetener of choice (optional) 

Equipment: 

  • Sifter 
  • Small bowl 
  • Whisk (bamboo or metal) or milk frother 
  • Mug 

 

Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect Matcha Latte

  1. Prepare the Matcha

Begin by sifting 1 teaspoon of Matcha powder into a small bowl. This removes clumps and ensures a smooth texture. 

  1. Heat the Milk

Warm 200ml of your preferred milk until it’s just below boiling. For a creamier texture, use full-fat milk or barista-grade plant-based milk like oat or almond. 

  1. Whisk the Matcha

Add a small amount of hot milk to the Matcha powder and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually pour in the remaining milk while continuing to whisk until frothy. 

  1. Serve and Enjoy

Pour your Matcha latte into a mug, add sweetener if desired, and sip immediately for the freshest taste.
