Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (about 2–3 grams)
- 2 ounces hot water (about 60 ml), at 175°F (80°C)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 8 ounces milk of choice (240 ml; dairy or plant-based)
- Optional: ice (for iced version)
- Optional garnish: extra honey drizzle, cinnamon stick, or rosemary sprig
Instructions
- Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl to remove clumps.
- Add 2 ounces of hot water and whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion until smooth and frothy.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of raw honey until fully dissolved.
- If making a hot latte, gently warm 8 ounces of milk until hot but not boiling. For iced, fill a glass with ice and pour in cold milk.
- Pour the matcha-honey mixture into the milk.
- Stir gently and optionally garnish with honey drizzle, a cinnamon stick, or rosemary sprig.
Notes
- Use ceremonial-grade matcha for a vibrant, smooth flavor.
- Adjust matcha strength to taste—up to 1½ teaspoons for a bolder flavor.
- Swap honey with maple syrup, agave, or vanilla syrup for variations.
- Froth milk separately for an extra creamy, café-style experience.
- Great served hot or over ice depending on your mood or season.
