Authentic Matcha Latte
Recreate the sophisticated flavor of a Tokyo cafe at home. Earthy, vibrant green Ujan matcha whisked perfectly and layered over creamy milk.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Premium ceremonial Matcha powdern50ml Hot water 80°C / 175°Fn200ml Milk (whole milk or oat milk)n1 tsp Honey or sugar syrupnTraditional bamboo matcha whisk (Chasen)
Instructions
- Step 1: Sift the matcha powder through a fine-mesh strainer directly into your bowl.
- Sifting is mandatory to eliminate clumps and ensure smoothness.nStep 2: Pour in the hot water (make sure it’s not boiling water, as boiling water scorches the matcha and makes it bitter).nStep 3: Hold the bamboo whisk and whisk vigorously in a rapid ‘W’ or ‘M’ motion for 45 seconds, using your wrist, until a thick, beautiful jade-green foam forms on top.nStep 4: In a serving glass, add your honey or syrup, fill with ice, and pour in the cold milk.nStep 5: Slowly and carefully pour the whisked frothy matcha directly over the milk to create a stunning, professional, dual-layered cafe look.
- Stir gently before drinking.
Notes
“💡 Omotenashi Tip: Whisking the matcha in a crisp ‘W’ motion rather than a circular stir incorporates air efficiently, creating the signature velvet foam!”
