Our Favorite Matcha Recipe
Matcha Latte
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
- ¼ cup hot water (160–180°F)
- ¼ cup warmed milk (soy, cashew, coconut, or any milk of choice)
- Optional: sweetener of your choice (to taste)
- Optional: vanilla bean or cinnamon (for added flavor)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Matcha
- Sift the matcha powder into a matcha bowl to remove any lumps.
- Add hot water 80C (176F) to the matcha.
- Using a matcha whisk, whisk briskly in an up-and-down motion for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes frothy.
2. Add Milk
- Pour warm milk over the frothed matcha tea. Taste and adjust flavors by adding vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener, or additional water or milk as desired.
3. Blender Method (Alternative)
- If you don't have a whisk, combine milk, matcha powder, sweetener (e.g., honey or agave nectar), and vanilla in a blender. Cover and blend on high until the mixture is creamy and frothy.
Cold Latte Option
Add the ingredients and a handful of ice to a jar for an iced matcha latte. Cover and shake vigorously until well combined.
Tips for the Perfect Latte
Water Temperature: Keep the water between 160–180°F to avoid a bitter, burnt taste. A good tip is to let your kettle boil and cool for a few minutes before adding it to the matcha powder.
Enjoy your creamy, flavorful Matcha Latte!
Care Instructions
Store the rich flavor and freshness of your Aprika Life culinary organic matcha in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate to maintain its quality. Remember to seal the pouch after each use to prevent air and moisture from affecting its bright color, delicate aroma, and taste.
