Equipment

Small bowl
matcha whisk or small whisk
measuring spoons
serving glass

Ingredients

1 teaspoon matcha powder
2 tablespoons warm water
3/4 cup milk of choice
1 cup ice
1–2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup (optional)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Add the matcha powder to a small bowl.
Pour in the warm water.
Whisk until the matcha is smooth and slightly foamy.
Fill a serving glass with ice.
Pour the milk over the ice.
Stir in the sweetener and vanilla extract, if using.
Pour the whisked matcha over the milk.
Stir gently and serve immediately.

Notes

Use warm—not boiling—water to avoid bitterness. Whisk the matcha before adding it to the milk for the smoothest texture. For a café-style version, use oat milk and a splash of vanilla. A latte made with 1 teaspoon of matcha contains about 38–70 mg caffeine, while 1/2 teaspoon provides about 20–35 mg and 2 teaspoons about 80–140 mg.
