📌Ingredients

🍃3 g ceremonial matcha powder

🍃30 ml warm water, around 80°C

🍃150 ml chilled milk of your choice

🍃1-2 tsp pure maple syrup

🍃Ice cubes

📌How to make Sea Salt Maple Matcha

🍃1. Prepare the Matcha

Sift the matcha powder into a ceramic bowl to remove any lumps. Add 30 ml of warm water at approximately 80°C. Whisk briskly in a W or M motion until the matcha becomes smooth and lightly frothy.

Avoid boiling water, as excessive heat can make the flavour taste harsh or bitter.

🍃2. Make the Maple Milk

Add chilled milk and maple syrup to a glass. Stir well until the maple syrup is evenly incorporated.

🍃3. Build Your Latte

Fill the glass with ice. Slowly pour the maple milk over the ice, followed by the freshly whisked matcha. This creates a beautiful layered effect.

🍃4. Add the Finishing Touch

Taste the matcha latte and if needed, add maple syrup as per your taste. Finish with the tiniest sprinkle of sea salt and enjoy immediately.
