Matcha is used in numerous special drinks and baked goods – really you can add it to just about anything! If matcha is new to you, and whether you use Chinese Organic Matcha or Japanese Kansai Matcha powder, this simple yummy recipe is a great place to start.
Matcha Latte
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- 1/4 Cup boiling water
- 3/4 Cup unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, or cow milk
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Organic Matcha or Japanese Kansai Matcha powder
- Honey, agave syrup, or other liquid sweeteners
Bring milk to a simmer in a small pot over medium-high heat. If using cow milk, take care, as it may boil over very suddenly.
Place 1 teaspoon matcha powder in a large cup, then gradually whisk in 1/4 cup boiling water, then 3/4 cup hot milk, tipping your vessel slightly to help create more foam.
Sweeten to taste with honey or agave syrup, as crystal sugar may not dissolve completely.
Also delicious iced – just put all ingredients (cold water & milk, not hot) into a cocktail mixer with a few ice cubes and shake very vigorously – or as a smoothie – just add 4-6 ice cubes and a handful of your favorite fruits, then mix in a blender for 2-3 minutes. Feel free to experiment with added flavors such as coconut, mint, or other fragrant herbs such as basil or rosemary.
