WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
This recipe is built for real results: smooth matcha (no clumps), balanced flavor, and a clean layered pour that looks viral on camera but is easy in real life.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE LATTE
– Matcha powder
– Hot water
– Maple syrup (optional)
– Cold milk of choice
– Espresso
– Ice
Add matcha powder and hot water to a bowl. Whisk until smooth and lightly foamy.
STEP 1: WHISK THE MATCHA
STEP 2: SWEETEN THE DRINK (OPTIONAL)
Add maple syrup and whisk for a few seconds until fully combined.
STEP 3: BUILD THE DRINK
Fill a glass with ice. Pour in the matcha mixture, then add the cold milk of your choice on top.
STEP 4: ADD ESPRESSO FOR THE "DIRTY" LATER
Slowly pour the espresso (or cooled strong coffee) over the top. You can stir right away, or leave the layers for that café-style look and mix as you sip.
PRO TIPS
- A bamboo whisk is ideal, but a milk frother works for quick, clump-free matcha.

- Serve with breakfast or a sweet snack
