A simple guide to making a delicious matcha latte at home, emphasizing ceremonial grade matcha, the perfect amount of sweetener, and a dash of vanilla extract to balance the earthiness.
1. First, add 1 tsp of matcha powder to a bowl (a chawan or regular bowl works) with 3 tbsp of warm water, and 1 tsp sweetener of choice (honey is recommended).
2. Mix together using a bamboo whisk in a zig-zag formation until it gets nice and foamy on top.
3. Then, add a handful of ice and 3/4 cup of milk of choice (organic barista blend oat milk is recommended).
4. Pour the whisked matcha on top, mix gently, and enjoy!
