Brown Sugar Matcha Latte
Adapted Recipe by Natalie Wallington
Notes
-This recipe calls for pure matcha powder — don't use a matcha-flavored drink mix or any other substitute. You can find pure matcha powder at Trader Joe's, the international aisle of some grocery stores, or your local Asian supermarket. And don't worry about buying the high-grade stuff — I find this recipe works great with whatever's cheapest at my local Japanese grocery store. You can also buy it online if needed.
-For an iced latte, add three ice cubes and enjoy right away. For a hot latte, you can simply pour the same matcha mixture into a mug of hot milk and stir to combine.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure matcha powder
3 tablespoons water
1 cup 2% milk (or plant-based milk substitute)
Ice
Directions
- Assemble your tools! You'll need a teaspoon, a tablespoon, a small bowl, and a glass for your finished latte as well as a regular small spoon and a small whisk. If you don't have one you can also use a big whisk, the whisk attachment of an electric hand mixer, or simply a fork!
- Cream together the matcha powder and brown sugar with the back of a small spoon. The resulting mixture should be a uniform medium-green powder with no clumps.
- Add one tablespoon of water and whisk the mixture thoroughly for at least one minute. Be sure to break up any clumps and dissolve all the dry powder. The result should be a thick dark green liquid. Then add two more tablespoons of water, whisking thoroughly after each addition. This will ensure that the matcha powder is completely dissolved.
- Fill your glass with milk until about an inch below the rim. Finally, pour in your matcha mixture, stir to combine, and enjoy!
