The Element Matcha Latte
Ingredients:
- ~1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 ounces hot water (not boiling)
- 8 ounces milk (any type you prefer)
- Optional: sweetener of your choice (such as honey, sugar, or maple syrup)
Instructions:
-
Heat Water: Begin by heating the water to around 175°F (80°C). Avoid using boiling water, as it can scorch the matcha and result in a bitter taste.
-
Prepare Matcha: In a small bowl or mug, sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps. Then, pour the hot water over the matcha powder.
-
Whisk Matcha: Use a matcha whisk or small whisk to vigorously whisk the matcha and water together in a zig-zag motion until the mixture becomes frothy and well combined. This step helps to dissolve the matcha powder and create a smooth texture.
-
Heat Milk: While the matcha is whisking, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches your desired temperature. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother to heat and froth the milk simultaneously.
-
Combine: Once the milk is heated, pour it into your serving mug. Then, slowly pour the whisked matcha mixture over the milk, using a spoon to hold back the froth if desired.
-
Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer your matcha latte sweetened, you can add your desired sweetener to taste at this point. Stir well to combine.
-
Enjoy: Your Element matcha latte is now ready to be enjoyed! Take a moment to appreciate its vibrant green color and frothy texture before taking a sip and savoring the rich, earthy flavor.
