Matcha Green Tea

Delicious Matcha Lattes

A simple variation of the tea latte, the Matcha latte combines Matcha green tea with hot milk for a tasty (and beautiful!) drink.

The Matcha latte is a wonderful way to enjoy Matcha for those who find drinking straight Matcha too bitter and/or strong.

Follow this step by step guide to make an
8 oz Matcha latte at home.

Measure Your Loose Tea

Step One: Start by measuring ½ - 1 teaspoon cooking grade Matcha. If you are using a bamboo Matcha scoop (chashaku), measure 2-4 almond sized scoops.

Step One: Start by measuring ½ - 1 teaspoon cooking grade Matcha. Sift the Matcha through a sieve into your mug.

We recommend sifting the Matcha to prevent clumping; however, the Matcha can also be placed directly into your mug without sifting.

Steep Your Tea

Step Two: Next, make a super strength brew by adding 1/3 cup boiling water to your mug filled with Matcha.

Whisk the Matcha and water together until the Matcha appears to be dissolved in the water.

If you do not have a whisk, stir with a spoon vigorously!

Heat & Froth Your Milk

Step Three: Heat 2/3 cup milk until steaming.

Add Your Heated Milk

Step Four: Finally, pour the heated milk into your mug with the Matcha and add sugar or honey to taste.

Whisk the Matcha and water together until the Matcha appears to be dissolved in the water.

Step Three: Heat 2/3 cup milk until steaming.
