Preparation Time:
7 Minutes
Step 1: Prepare Matcha PasteÂ
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water. Use a whisk or spoon to mix until the matcha forms a smooth paste with no lumps.
Step 2: Brew Coffee
Brew 1 shot of Japanese Sencha Green Tea coffee (or your preferred Uprise espresso) using an espresso machine or Moka pot.
Step 3: Heat Milk
In a saucepan or microwave, heat 1 cup of milk until it’s hot but not boiling. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
Step 4: Mix Matcha Paste, Coffee, and Milk
Pour the hot milk into the bowl with the matcha paste. Use a whisk or spoon to mix until the matcha paste is fully incorporated into the milk. Then add the brewed coffee and stir until well combined.
Step 5: Sweeten with Honey
Add 1-2 teaspoons of honey to the matcha coffee latte, adjusting the amount to your desired level of sweetness. Stir well until the honey is dissolved.
Step 6: Froth (Optional)
If desired, use a milk frother to froth the matcha coffee latte until a layer of foam forms on top. Alternatively, you can skip this step if you prefer a smoother texture.
Step 7: Serve
Pour the Japanese Matcha Latte into a serving mug or cup. If frothed, spoon any remaining foam on top of the latte.
Step 8: Optional Topping
For an extra touch, add a dollop of whipped cream or foam on top of the latte for added creaminess and presentation.
Step 9: Enjoy
Sip and enjoy the harmonious blend of earthy matcha, bold coffee, creamy milk, and sweet honey in this refreshing Japanese Matcha Coffee Latte!
Step 10: Experiment
Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your preference. You can also experiment with different types of milk or alternative sweeteners for variation.
