Matcha Latte

Matcha Latte (or Maccha Latte) is one of our favorite non-coffee lattes and hot beverages. Our recipe is very simple and can easily be used at home.

water at 80°c: 30g
matcha powder: 3g
milk, before steaming: roughly 170g

  1. Mix roughly 3g of good quality matcha powder with 30g of warm but not too hot water, ideally around at around 80°c.
  2. Whisk with a chasen (matcha whisk) or household whisk until there is some foam on the surface.
  3. Now is the time to add sugar if you want any. Whisk again to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Steam milk with the steam wand of your espresso machine. Oat milk works great, too.
  5. Pour latte art to make it look nice. Or just mix milk with matcha.

Use a fine sieve when you add the powder in step 1 to prevent the brew from clumping.

When using good quality, fresh matcha and water at around 80°c, sugar may not be needed as the brew won't end up too bitter and the milk will add some natural sweetness to it.
