Ingredients:
1 teaspoon matcha powder
2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling)
1 cup milk (any kind you prefer, such as dairy, almond, soy, etc.)
Optional: sweetener of your choice (e.g., honey, sugar, maple syrup)
Instructions:
In a mug or small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps.
Add the hot water to the matcha powder and whisk vigorously until the matcha is fully dissolved and a smooth paste is formed. You can use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small whisk/fork for this step.
In a small saucepan or milk frother, heat the milk until it's hot but not boiling. If using a saucepan, stir frequently to prevent scorching.
If desired, sweeten the milk with your preferred sweetener to taste.
Pour the hot milk into the matcha paste while whisking continuously to combine the two ingredients.
Continue whisking until the matcha latte becomes frothy and well mixed.
Pour the matcha latte into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately!
