Matcha Drink Beverage Recipes
Classic Vanilla Matcha Latte
16oz , Iced
Items you'll need:
-Quality Japanese Matcha Powder (1 tsp)
-Hot Water (5 oz): 1 oz to start, then 4 oz more
-French Vanilla Syrup
-4 oz milk of your choice
-Bowl to whisk matcha in
-Handled tea strainer
-16 oz iced glass
-Ice
Whisk quality Japanese matcha:
• First start by scooping 1 teaspoon of matcha & sifting it through a small handled powder sifter into your mixing bowl. This is actually a pretty important step in achieving a clump-free matcha!
• Then begin turning the matcha into a thick green paste using a heafty splash
• Once it's free of clumps and resembles a green paste, slowly add 4 oz (1/2 cup) hot water little by little
Concoct the Vanilla Matcha Latte!
• In an iced tea glass, fill it way to the top with ice, the warm matcha will melt some of the ice so it will balance out to make a perfect 16 oz. I live in Arizona, so I usually overfill it with ice so it stays cold longer
• Add 4 oz (1/2 cup) of your choice of milk. *Caution not to go to heavy handed adding milk, especially cow milk, tea has a delicate flavor and is easily overpowered by fats in the milk. If you need more liquid, use more warm water instead
• Put in 4 pumps ( 1 oz ) of French Vanilla Syrup
• Top the drink with the matcha from earlier! I like to strain it once more as I add it to the drink, just in case the initial whisking didn't get all the sneaky green powder clumps!
• Give it a good stir: the vanilla syrup is the heaviest ingredient in this drink so it tends to sink to the bottom
Done! Best Vanilla Matcha you've ever had :)
