📌How to Prepare Dalgona Matcha Latte

🍃1. Sift Your Matcha

Sift the ceremonial matcha powder into a bowl. This simple step helps break up lumps and gives you a smoother, silkier foam.

🍃2. Whisk the matcha

Add 30 ml of warm water and the matcha powder to a ceramic bowl and whisk until the matcha becomes smooth and frothy. Keep the water around 80°C rather than boiling to preserve its delicate flavour.

🍃3. Make It Fluffy

Add honey or your preferred sweetener. Whisk until the mixture becomes light, airy and creamy. A handheld frother makes this step super easy.

🍃4. Build Your Latte

Fill a glass with ice, if using. Pour in the chilled milk, leaving some space at the top for your whipped matcha layer.

🍃5. Add the Matcha Cloud

Spoon the fluffy matcha mixture gently over the milk. Let it sit beautifully on top for that signature dalgona-inspired look.

🍃6. Sip & Enjoy

Give it a gentle stir when you're ready to drink. Take that first creamy sip and enjoy your homemade café moment.
