Matcha Latte

• 2 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder
• 2 tbsp hot water (80°C, not boiling)
• 250ml oat milk (or any milk)
• 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup
• Optional: vanilla extract, cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1

   Sift matcha powder into a small bowl or mug to remove lumps.

2. 2

   Add hot water (80°C — boiling water makes matcha bitter).

3. 3

   Whisk vigorously in a W or M motion with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or small regular whisk until smooth and frothy with no lumps.

4. 4

   Heat oat milk in a saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling. Froth with a milk frother or whisk.

5. 5

   Add honey to the matcha paste and stir.

6. 6

   Pour warm frothed milk over the matcha. Stir gently to combine. Serve immediately.
