There's something deeply satisfying about making your own matcha latte — the vibrant green colour, the earthy aroma, the ritual of it all. And with the right matcha, it's easier than you think.
What you'll need
- 1 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha (like our Japanese Premium Matcha Stone-Ground from Kyoto)
- 30ml hot water (80°C — never boiling)
- 200ml oat milk or whole milk, steamed or frothed
- Optional: a touch of honey or maple syrup
Method
- Sift your matcha into a bowl or cup to avoid clumps.
- Add 30ml of hot water and whisk vigorously in a "W" motion until smooth and frothy — a bamboo chasen works best.
- Steam or froth your milk and pour it gently over the matcha.
- Sweeten to taste and enjoy immediately.
Pro tip
The quality of your matcha makes all the difference. Stone-ground, shade-grown matcha from Kyoto delivers a naturally sweet, umami-rich flavour with no bitterness.
