How to Make the Perfect Matcha Latte

How to Make the Perfect Matcha Latte: A Refreshing Summer Drink with NutriExtracts Matcha Green Tea Powder.

Here are the instructions for making a delicious Matcha Latte using NutriExtracts Matcha Green Tea Powder. This easy and simple drink is perfect for setting the mood for the summer season.

  • NutriExtracts Matcha Green Tea Powder: This is the star ingredient that provides the vibrant green color and distinctive flavor of matcha. Choose a high-quality matcha powder like NutriExtracts for the best taste and health benefits.

  • Milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based): The type of milk you use will affect the flavor and creaminess of your matcha latte. Dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or any other plant-based milk can be used based on your preference.

  • Syrup (optional, for sweetness): This is optional and can be added to sweeten the matcha latte to your liking. Common syrups used include simple syrup, honey, agave syrup, or flavored syrups like vanilla or caramel.

  • Ice cubes (optional, for a cold latte): If you prefer your matcha latte cold, ice cubes can be added. This makes it a refreshing drink, perfect for hot summer days.

 

Tools:

 

  • Bowl: A medium-sized bowl is used to whisk and mix the matcha powder with water and syrup (if using). It's important to use a bowl with enough space to whisk vigorously without spilling.

  • Whisk (electric or traditional bamboo whisk): The whisk is used to blend the matcha powder with water and create a smooth, frothy texture. Traditional bamboo whisks (chasen) are commonly used for making matcha, but an electric whisk can also be used for convenience.

  • Sieve: This is used to sift the matcha powder into the bowl before whisking. It helps to remove any clumps and ensures a smooth and lump-free matcha latte.

 

Instructions:

  1. Sift the Matcha Powder: Place a sieve over a bowl and add less than half a teaspoon of NutriExtracts Matcha Green Tea Powder. Sift the powder to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency for your Matcha Latte.
  2. Whisk the Matcha: Add 100ml of hot water (not boiling) to the bowl. Whisk the matcha powder vigorously until it forms a thin layer of foam on the surface. For added sweetness, mix in some syrup and whisk again.
  3. Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in your choice of milk, leaving enough space for the matcha tea. This can be regular dairy milk or a plant-based alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk.
  4. Combine and Serve: Slowly pour the prepared matcha tea over the milk and ice. Stir gently to mix. Your refreshing Matcha Latte is now ready to enjoy!
