Vanilla Matcha Latte
The taste of matcha is earthy and grassy. When it's met with creamy plant-based milk, pure maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla, you get a delicious Vanilla Matcha Latte.
Equipment
- Frother, bamboo whisk, or a small whisk
- Mini sift
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional, but recommended
- 2 tablespoons hot water not boiling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup hot plant-based milk unsweetened
Instructions
- Sift the matcha (and cinnamon if using it) into a mug.
- Mix the hot water with the matcha until no lumps remain.
- Mix in the pure maple syrup and vanilla.
- Froth the hot plant-based milk and pour it over the matcha. Mix to combine.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Cinnamon helps balance the bitterness of the matcha (and gives the latte a warmer flavor), which is why I recommend using it.
- Use a plant-based milk you enjoy the taste of. I recommend using a creamy or high-fat one such as creamy oat milk or coconut milk (from a carton).
- Coconut milk (where the only ingredient is either just coconut milk or coconut milk and water) froths very well.
- If you want a stronger matcha flavor, add an extra ¼ teaspoon of matcha.
- For an iced vanilla matcha latte, prepare the hot matcha per recipe instructions. Then add your milk of choice to a glass with ice, and pour the hot matcha over the top.
