Iced Matcha Latte

What you’ll need: (to make it easy)

• A good sized glass (I promise, you’ll want it all)
• A 1 tsp measuring spoon
• A fine mesh sifter
• A handheld electric whisk
• A small amount of hot water (not boiling or it can burn the matcha powder)
• Ice
• Milk (our favorite is almond milk)

 

Instructions

Optimal Ratio for 12oz - (we recommend experimenting to find your favorite ratio)

• 2-3g sifted (approx 2-3 tsp)

Matcha is your base. Water is your bloom (unlocks aroma compounds). And milk is your body (preserves foam).

 

1. Sift matcha into your glass
2. Add a small amount of hot water (approximately 2 oz; do not use boiling water, as it can burn the matcha powder making it taste bitter)
3. Whisk with your handheld electric whisk for about 15–20 seconds, until the matcha is smooth, glossy and frothy
4. Add some honey and blend again for a few seconds! (totally optional)
5. Add enough ice to make it cold
6. Add your milk (leaving room for sweet cream cold foam, if you choose)
7. Blend again for a few seconds
8. Top off with your cold foam if you choose

 

Sweet Cream Cold Foam: (totally optional but oh so yummy) 

You’ll use a 2:1 ratio of: (depending on how much you want to make)

 

• 2 parts heavy whipping cream (dairy or plant based but dairy works best)
• 1 part milk (dairy or plant based)
• Honey simple syrup or sugar simple syrup

1. Whisk with your handheld electric whisk in a glass until thick and creamy.
