Why Make a Matcha Latte at Home?

Matcha lattes have become a favourite in cafés worldwide, but did you know you can easily make one at home? Not only is it cost-effective, but making your own latte also ensures you’re using quality matcha and adjusting the sweetness and creaminess to your taste.

  • 1–2 teaspoons of matcha powder (ceremonial or latte grade)

  • 60 ml hot water (around 80°C, not boiling)

  • 200 ml milk of your choice (dairy, oat, almond, or soy)

  • A bamboo whisk (chasen) or milk frother

  • Optional: sweetener such as honey, agave, or vanilla syrup

  3. Heat and Froth Milk – Warm your milk and froth it using a milk frother or whisk.

  4. Combine – Pour the frothed milk over the whisked matcha.

  5. Sweeten (Optional) – Add your preferred sweetener and stir gently.
