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.
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.
If you are watching your caffeine intake you should know that because matcha tea is made with the entire tea leaf it does contains caffeine.
How to Make a Matcha Latte
I've discovered I could make the most delightful lattes and hot drinks in my high-powered blender. So now 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.
Blender Method:
To make a Matcha Latte in your high powered blender, add the milk of your choice, matcha powder, vanilla or almond extract (if using) and sweetener to the jar of your blender.
Turn the machine on and increase the speed to high. Blend until the tea is frothy and hot.
Stovetop Method:
If you don't own a high powered blender you could still make matcha latte at home using your stovetop. On the stovetop, warm 2 cups of milk of your choice until hot. If using an extract to flavour your latte, you can add it to your milk.
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.
Add hot milk into the paste and stir. If desired, add a sweetener to taste. If you own a milk frother, you could use it to froth the top of your latte.
The amount of calories in your matcha latte will depend on which milk you use as well as the amount of sweetener chosen. When using 1% dairy milk, and no sweetener, there are 114 calories in one serving of this Matcha Tea Latte.
Enjoy!
