Have you ever tried matcha? If not, you're in for a pleasant surprise! This Sweet and Simple Match Latte recipe perfectly blends traditional and modern wellness, offering a unique taste and various health benefits.
Before we dive into the recipe, let's talk about why matcha is such a superstar ingredient. Matcha, a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves, is celebrated for its high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins. These powerful compounds can help fight inflammation, aid in weight management, and even boost brain health.
So, grab your aprons and let's get cooking!
Simple Matcha Latte
(Makes 1 Serving)
Ingredients:
• ¼ cup boiling water
• 1 tsp matcha green tea powder
• 1 cup of your preferred milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
Directions:
1. Start by blending the boiling water with the matcha powder in a blender. This process helps to create a smooth and frothy base for your latte. Remember to be cautious to avoid any hot splashes.
2. In a small saucepan, gently heat your chosen milk with honey or maple syrup. Heat it over medium flame until it's just about to boil.
3. Whisk your milk vigorously to create a lovely froth once it is heated. This step adds a creamy texture to your latte, making it extra indulgent.
4. Pour the frothy milk into your favourite mug, followed by the blended matcha. Give it a gentle stir to combine the layers.
5. Now, it's time to enjoy! Sip slowly and relish the comforting warmth and subtle sweetness of your homemade matcha latte.
