Instructions
For Warm Matcha Latte
Sift the matcha powder into a matcha bowl (or any small bowl with a flat bottom) if you’re using a matcha whisk. If you're not using a matcha whisk, sift it directly into your serving cup.
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water to the matcha. Avoid boiling water, as it can burn the matcha. If your kettle lacks a temperature setting, stop it when it's hot but before it reaches a boil.
Whisk the matcha:If you have a matcha whisk, whisk in a zig-zag (W or Z) motion, moving up and down rather than in circles, for 20-30 seconds until bubbles form. Then, pour it into your serving cup.If you don’t have a whisk, use a frother for 5-10 seconds—just enough to fully mix the matcha without creating too much froth.
In a separate cup, warm the oat milk in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Add sweetener if desired, stir, and froth until the oat milk almost doubles in volume.
Pour the frothed milk into the serving cup with the matcha, sift a little matcha powder on top for garnish, and enjoy!
For Cold Matcha Latte
Follow steps 1 to 3 above to prepare the matcha.
Add ice cubes to your serving cup with the matcha, filling the cup at least halfway.
Slowly pour in oat milk to create a marbled effect. Stir to combine, taste for sweetness, and add sweetener if desired. Enjoy!
