How to make a matcha latte
A matcha latte is one of the simplest ways to enjoy matcha. Smooth, balanced, and easy to make — it’s a natural alternative to coffee that provides clean, steady energy.
What you need
To make a matcha latte, you only need a few simple ingredients:
- 1–2 grams of matcha powder
- 60 ml warm water (not boiling)
- 200 ml milk of your choice
Step 1 – Prepare the matcha
Sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps. Add warm water and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy. This step is key for a clean, balanced texture.
Step 2 – Heat or prepare the milk
Heat your milk gently or prepare it cold if you prefer an iced version. For a smoother texture, lightly froth the milk before combining.
Step 3 – Combine
Pour the milk over the prepared matcha. Stir gently. The result should be smooth, slightly creamy, and balanced in taste.
Why quality matters
The quality of the matcha will directly affect the taste of your latte. High-quality matcha is naturally smooth and slightly sweet, while lower quality matcha often tastes bitter and flat.
Hot or iced?
Both work well. A hot matcha latte feels more traditional and calming, while an iced version is lighter and refreshing — perfect for warmer days.
