Ingredients
Instructions
Sift the matcha. Place 1–2 tsp through a fine sieve into a bowl or mug. This prevents clumps and makes your latte ultra-smooth.
Add hot (not boiling) water. About 2 oz at 160–175°F. Too hot = bitterness. Just-steamy = silky.
Whisk to a smooth paste. Use a bamboo whisk or frother. Whisk in a quick “M” motion until you see fine bubbles and a glossy layer of foam.
Sweeten, if you like. Add maple or honey and whisk again to dissolve.
Warm and foam your milk. Heat milk to hot-but-sippable. Froth until microfoam appears—tiny bubbles, glossy sheen.
Combine. Pour the matcha base into your mug, top with milk, and give it a gentle swirl. Sip and enjoy the café-smooth moment.
