Notes

Recipe Tips:
  • Mixing the matcha powder with hot water to make a paste is important as it helps to break up any lumps in the matcha powder.
  • Don't use boiling water for mixing with the matcha powder. It only needs to be warm. Boiling water can degrade the delicate flavors in the matcha powder, making it taste more bitter and less flavorful.
  • Use ceremonial-grade matcha powder for the most vibrant green color in your matcha latte.
  • Shake the cold milk in a lidded jar (or cold froth it in a milk frother) before pouring it into the glass to create a foamy texture.
