Matcha latte

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make matcha latte? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients. Take thicker milk, the finished drink will only benefit from this. I had milk with a fat content of about 6%. Since the water for the drink will not be brought to a boil, immediately take clean drinking water. Take any sugar and add to taste. I took cane and added 1 tsp for 2 servings. Sugar can be replaced with honey.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the milk into a saucepan and place on low heat. Heat to 80°C. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from burning on the bottom.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour water into another saucepan and also heat over medium heat to 80°C. To heat the water and milk to the desired temperature and not overheat, use a cooking thermometer.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the water and milk are heating, mix the matcha powder and sugar in a bowl (or a special bowl for matcha).

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour water heated to the required temperature into the bowl and beat everything with a whisk or a special bamboo pestle until the tea powder and sugar are completely dissolved. Matcha powder is sold in different qualities: regular, premium, the color of the powder can also differ from delicate light green to dark emerald. The color of your powder will determine the final color of your drink.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the resulting tea mixture into cups or special glasses with handles. I poured it into ordinary thin glass glasses, since the tea mixture had time to cool a little while whipping.

7. STEP 7

   

   Beat the milk heated to the required temperature with an immersion blender or cappuccino maker until a fluffy foam appears. If you are whipping with an immersion blender, I advise you to pour the milk into a special tall glass for whipping, because in a lower container the milk will splash heavily and instead of enjoying a delicious drink, you will have to clean the kitchen. You can also use a stationary blender.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add frothed milk to the glasses of matcha tea and spoon out the remaining milk froth. The matcha latte is ready. Serve the drink right away while it is warm. By the way, it is also very tasty when cold. Bon appetit!
