🍃 Ingredients

  • 3 g Ceremonial matcha powder

  • 50 ml warm water

  • 150 ml milk of your choice

  • 1-2 tsp honey

  • Ice cubes

  • Extra honey for drizzling (optional)

  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

🍃 Instructions

1. Prepare the Matcha

Sift 3 g of matcha powder into a ceramic bowl. Add 50 ml of warm water and whisk until the matcha is smooth and lump-free.

For the best results, use a traditional matcha whisk to blend the matcha evenly and create a smooth consistency.

2. Sweeten the Matcha

Add 1-2 teaspoons of honey to the prepared matcha while it is still warm. Stir well until the honey dissolves completely.

Adjust the amount of honey according to your preferred sweetness.

3. Prepare the Milk

Pour your preferred milk into a glass or separate container. You can use dairy milk or a plant-based alternative such as oat, almond, or soy milk.

4. Build the Honey Milk Base

Drizzle a little honey inside a tall glass, if desired. Add ice cubes and pour in the milk, leaving enough room for the matcha layer.

5. Add the Matcha

Slowly pour the prepared honey matcha over the milk and ice. Pouring gently helps create a beautiful contrast between the creamy milk and vibrant green matcha.

6. Add the Finishing Touches

Drizzle a little extra honey over the top for added sweetness. You can also add whipped cream if you prefer a richer, dessert-inspired drink.

7. Garnish and Serve

Give the Honey Matcha Latte a gentle stir before drinking to combine the matcha, creamy milk, and honey flavours.

Your smooth and refreshing Honey Matcha Latte is ready to enjoy!
