📌Ingredients

🍃3g Ceremonial Matcha

🍃60 ml hot water (not boiling, around 80°C)

🍃150 ml milk (dairy, oat, almond, or soy)

🍃½ small apple, finely diced

🍃1 tbsp caramel sauce

🍃½ tsp cinnamon powder

🍃1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

🍃Ice cubes, if making an iced version

🍃Thin apple slices, for garnishing

📌Instructions

🍃1. Prepare the apple

Add the diced apple, cinnamon, and 1 tsp caramel sauce to a small pan. Cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes until the apple softens and becomes lightly caramelised.

🍃2. Prepare the matcha

Sift the matcha tea powder into a ceramic bowl. Add 60 ml of hot water and whisk using a matcha whisk until smooth and lightly frothy.

🍃3. Prepare the milk

Warm and froth your milk. For an iced matcha latte, use chilled milk instead.

🍃4. Build the drink

Add the caramelised apple mixture to the bottom of your glass. Drizzle caramel sauce around the inside of the glass and pour in the milk.

🍃5. Add the matcha

Slowly pour the prepared matcha tea over the milk to create a beautiful layered effect.

🍃6. Finish

Top with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a few thin apple slices. Stir gently before drinking to combine all the flavours.
