Cereal Milk Matcha Latte

Creating a cereal milk matcha latte is a delightful twist on the classic matcha latte, infusing it with the nostalgic flavor of cereal milk. Here's a recipe to indulge in this unique and delicious treat:

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon Element Matcha powder
• 2 ounces hot water (not boiling, around 175°F or 80°C)
• 8 ounces milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1/4 cup cereal of your choice (such as cornflakes, frosted flakes, or cinnamon toast crunch)
• Optional: sweetener of your choice (such as honey, sugar, or maple syrup)

Instructions:

1. Make Cereal Milk: Begin by infusing your milk with the flavor of cereal. In a bowl, pour the milk over the cereal of your choice and let it steep for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the cereal to impart its flavor into the milk. Once infused, strain the milk to remove the cereal pieces, leaving you with flavorful cereal milk.

2. Prepare Matcha: While the cereal milk is infusing, prepare the matcha. In a matcha bowl or small mixing bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps. Then, pour the hot water over the matcha powder and whisk vigorously with a bamboo matcha whisk or small whisk until frothy and well combined.

3. Froth Cereal Milk: If desired, use a milk frother to froth the cereal milk until it becomes creamy and frothy. Alternatively, you can heat the milk on the stove and whisk it vigorously to create foam.

4. Combine Matcha and Cereal Milk: Pour the frothy matcha mixture into a serving mug. Then, slowly pour the frothed cereal milk over the matcha, using a spoon to hold back the foam if desired.

5. Optional: Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer your matcha latte sweetened, you can add your desired sweetener to taste at this point. Stir well to combine.

6. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch of indulgence, you can garnish your cereal milk matcha latte with a sprinkle of crushed cereal on top.

7. Enjoy: Your Element cereal milk matcha latte is now ready to be enjoyed!
