Matcha Latte
Preparation time: ~5 min
To enjoy a perfect matcha latte you will need to get some traditional Japanese utensils: Chashaku: a thin bamboo teaspoon scoops just the right amount (1g) of matcha tea for one cup. Chasen: a wide, stubby whisk made of bamboo, ideal for stirring the tea powder evenly without altering the taste. If you don't have them, you can safely use a simple kitchen whisk or a whisk to froth the milk.
Ingredients
- 250ml milk
- 1g matcha (one teaspoon)
- sugar (to taste)
Preparation
Heat the milk (without boiling it though!). Pour the matcha with the help of Chashaku into a nice big cup and add the sugar. Add a couple of tablespoons of hot water (40ml), stirring very well with the help of the Chasen. When you have obtained a creamy mixture without lumps pour in the milk. N.B. Alternatively, you can use cold milk and add ice cubes before serving.
