A soothing and creamy hot matcha latte made with ceremonial grade matcha, almond or cashew milk, a touch of honey, and vanilla, perfect for a comforting, antioxidant-rich beverage.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup almond milk or cashew milk

Flavorings

  • 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • Pinch of Celtic sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Frother: Pour the almond or cashew milk into your milk frother. Add the ceremonial grade matcha, vanilla bean paste or extract, and a pinch of Celtic sea salt into the frother with the milk.
  2. Froth the Matcha Mixture: Turn on the frother to the hot setting. As the matcha begins to froth and blend with the milk, slowly stream in the honey. This technique prevents the honey from sticking to the bottom, ensuring it is fully incorporated into the latte.
  3. Serve Your Latte: Once the frothing is complete, pour the matcha latte into your favorite mug. Top it off with a splash of hot water to adjust strength and temperature to your liking. Stir gently and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and health benefits.
  • For a vegan option, ensure honey is substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Adjust honey amount to taste based on your preferred sweetness.
  • Vanilla bean paste offers a richer vanilla flavor compared to extract, but either works well.
  • A pinch of Celtic sea salt enhances the sweetness and balances flavors.
  • If you don’t have a frother, heat the milk gently and whisk vigorously to create foam.
