Equipment
- 1 bamboo whisk optional
- 1 electric milk frother optional
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha tea powder ceremonial grade
- ¼ cup hot water 60 ml, must be 80C / 175F, NOT BOILING
- ¾ cup almond milk 180ml, unsweetened and with a high fat content, warmed to 65C or 150F
Instructions
- Put the matcha powder into a wide bottomed mug or a bowl. Add a little hot water (I add 2 tablespoon). Whisk using a bamboo whisk, breaking up any clumps. You are done when the top is nice and foamy. **see notes if you don't have a bamboo whisk
- Warm the almond milk. Then, froth it with an electric milk frother. ***see notes
- Pour in the remaining water and the foamed milk on top of the matcha mix.
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, if 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.
