I’ve discovered I could make the most delightful lattes and hot drinks in my high-powered blender. What I especially love about using my blender to make hot drinks is all the froth the blender effortlessly makes. So now whenever I want to enjoy a hot foamy drink, all I do is put my ingredients in the blender and let it do all the work for me!
My favourite hot drink to make so far is this simple Matcha Green Tea Latte. I love Matcha and since it has beneficial health properties, I like adding it to as many recipes as I can. You can see how I used it in my Mini Almond and Matcha Bundt Cakes and in this recipe for Matcha Green Tea Sugar Cookies.
This recipe for Matcha Latte is a simple one. Feel free to add flavour extracts such as almond or vanilla to switch up the flavour of your drink. Personally, I love to taste the flavour of Matcha so I like my latte as pure as possible. You can use whichever milk and sweetener you prefer, so the choices are endless. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 tsp. Matcha powder
- 2 cups milk (of your choice)
- sweetener, optional and to your liking
Instructions
Blender Method (Using a high-powered blender)
- Place all of the ingredients in a high powered blender jar, turn the machine on and increase speed to high. Blend until frothy and hot.
- Serve immediately.
Non-Blender Method:
- On the stove top, warm 2 cups of milk of your choice until hot.
- In each mug, add one teaspoon of matcha powder with a little bit of hot water. Whisk the matcha and water to make a thick smooth paste.
- Pour hot milk into the paste and stir. If desired you can add a sweetener here. If you own a milk frother, you could use it to froth the top of your latte.
Notes
- Nutrition facts based on 1% milk and no sugar or other sweetener.
Love the color and how frothy it is.
Thank you, it is a pretty colour and yes the Vitamix does a great job at making the latte super frothy!
