Ingredients
  

For the latte
  • 2 teaspoons Organic ceremonial matcha powder Offers a rich, earthy flavor and a boost of antioxidants.
  • 1 cup Very hot water Helps dissolve matcha and release its vibrant flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Pure maple syrup Provides natural sweetness that complements the bitterness of matcha.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds a warm, aromatic note enhancing the overall taste.
  • 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk Creates a creamy base while keeping it dairy-free.
  • 1 cup Ice cubes Chills the drink, transforming it into a refreshing treat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients and utensils: a whisk or frother, measuring spoons, and a tall glass.
  2. Boil water to around 175°F (80°C), then let it cool slightly to avoid burning the matcha.
  3. In a bowl, combine the organic ceremonial matcha powder with hot water. Whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
Cook/Assemble
  1. In a separate glass, pour in the whipped matcha mixture.
  2. Add pure maple syrup and vanilla extract, stirring gently to combine.
  3. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk until the glass is nearly full, leaving room for ice.
Serve
  1. Fill the glass with ice cubes, letting them float above the creamy mixture.
  2. Give it a gentle stir if desired, or enjoy it layered for a stunning visual.
  3. Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and soak up the compliments!

Notes

Use ceremonial-grade matcha for a smoother flavor. Store any unused matcha mixture in an airtight container for later enjoyment. You can prepare the matcha base in advance and store it in the fridge.
