Ingredients
Matcha Mixture
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
Milk
- ¼ cup plant milk or milk of choice
Instructions
- Prepare the Matcha: Add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder to a matcha bowl or any small bowl. If you have a sifter, sift the matcha to avoid clumps. Pour in 1 cup of hot water (about 175°F or 80°C) and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or small regular whisk until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
- Add Cinnamon and Sweetener: Mix in ⅛ teaspoon of cinnamon powder to the matcha. If you prefer a sweeter latte, add ½ teaspoon of maple syrup and whisk again until combined.
- Assemble the Latte: Transfer the matcha mixture into your favorite mug. Slowly pour in ¼ cup of plant-based milk or milk of your choice over the matcha. You can gently stir to blend the milk evenly or leave it layered for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve: Enjoy your cinnamon matcha latte immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use water that is hot but not boiling (around 175°F or 80°C) to preserve the delicate flavor of matcha.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
- Plant-based milks such as oat, almond, or soy work well, but feel free to use regular dairy milk if preferred.
- For a frothier latte, warm and froth the milk before adding it to the matcha mixture.
- Whisking vigorously is key to creating a smooth and frothy matcha base.
