Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Pour the milk, simple syrup, and matcha powder into a cocktail shaker. For best results and to avoid clumps, sift the matcha into the shaker through a fine mesh strainer.
  2. Shake Vigorously: Secure the shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously 50 times to thoroughly mix and froth the ingredients, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
  3. Serve with Ice: Fill a serving cup with 1 cup of ice, then pour the shaken matcha latte over the ice. Stir gently if needed to combine.

Notes

  • Use sifted matcha powder to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth drink.
  • Adjust simple syrup quantity to your desired level of sweetness.
  • You can substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Shaking vigorously helps create a frothy texture similar to what espresso machines achieve.
  • Use cold milk to keep the drink chilled without diluting the ice too quickly.
