Matcha is the healthiest tea in the world. Its powder is rapidly gaining popularity. Matcha has a tart taste, invigorates and refreshes. Today we will make a matcha latte at home.
Prepare everything you need. Choose the milk as fat as possible, then the foam will be bigger and more tender. In the recipe we use 3.2%.
Ideally, beat the milk to a froth in a cappuccino machine or use a French press. But if there is no technique, it can be done in a glass jar: pour milk into it.
300 ml milk
Close the lid and shake intensively for a couple of minutes until foam forms. Remove the lid and put the jar in the microwave for 20 seconds. The foam will settle a little, but it will become denser and more stable.
Pour matcha powder and sugar into a small bowl (take to taste).
1 tbsp matcha powder, 1 tbsp sugar
Pour water at a temperature of 80 degrees. If there is no thermometer, just pour boiling water into a mug and after 5 minutes you can use it. Stir with a whisk.
100 ml water
Pour into glasses.
Put the milk foam on top.
Decorate at heart’s ease. Matcha latte is ready. You can serve both immediately, then the drink will be warm, and after cooling down. If you add ice, you will get a refreshing drink for a hot summer.
