Serving Size 1 serving

1 teaspoon matcha powder about 2 bamboo matcha teaspoon/chashaku
2 Tablespoons warm water about 60℃ to 80℃ (140°F to 175°F), so do NOT use boiling water which would have been at 100℃ (212℉)
¾ cup (plant-based) milk of choice I recommend oat or almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon agave or maple syrup optional, more to taste
½ to 1 cup ice cubes only for the iced version

Whisk the Matcha: In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove clumps. Add the warm water and whisk vigorously using your matcha whisk in a zigzag motion until smooth and frothy.
1 teaspoon matcha powder about 2 bamboo matcha teaspoon/chashaku, 2 Tablespoons warm water
Flavor: Add the vanilla extract and sweetener into your milk. Stir to combine.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3/4 cup (plant-based) milk of choice, 1 teaspoon agave or maple syrup
Combine: For a warm latte, heat the milk until warm but not boiling. You can simply microwave it on high for about 1 minute, or warm it up in the stovetop. Then froth if desired. Pour the milk into the glass containing the matcha mixture.
For an iced latte, fill a glass with ice cubes, pour in the vanilla milk, then add the matcha mixture.
1/2 to 1 cup ice cubes
Serve: Enjoy immediately, adjusting sweetness to taste if needed.
