Vanilla matcha latte
Ingredients
- 3 g matcha
- 100 ml water, about 80°C
- 100 ml milk or plant-based drink
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp maple syrup, optional
Method
- Sift the matcha. Whisk with a little of the water until smooth, then add the rest.
- Warm the milk gently in a small saucepan. Stir in the vanilla and maple syrup if using. Do not boil.
- Froth the milk if desired and pour it into the matcha.
- Stir, taste and serve warm.
Make it your own
Vanilla extracts vary in strength. Start with less if yours is concentrated. Vanilla sugar also adds sweetness, so it is not a like-for-like substitution.
Choose your matcha
For drinks with milk and breakfast recipes, start with Latte Grade Matcha. For matcha with water, choose a tea recommended for that preparation. Use a small kitchen scale for consistent results.
