Pure liquid monk fruit drops or liquid stevia to taste
1 handful of ice
Mint Matcha Latte:
12–14 ounces boiling water
1–2 mint teabags (spearmint, peppermint or one of each)
1/2 teaspoon superior matcha
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut creamer (such as Laird)
Liquid stevia or pure liquid monk fruit drops to taste
Instructions
Coconut Milk Matcha Latte:
- Heat the water to 170-175º (see note below)
- In a small bowl or cup, add the desired amount of coconut milk and nut milk and froth using a matcha frother.
- Pour a few ounces of water into your mug and add the matcha powder. Using a small whisk or matcha frother, whisk until the powder has completely dissolved. Add the remaining water, coconut milk, and sweetener of choice and stir.
Iced Matcha Latte:
- Combine about 4 ounces of cold water and the milk into a cup, add the matcha powder and sweetener of choice and whisk or froth using a matcha frother until the matcha has completely dissolved.
- Add the ice and top off with the remaining cold water. Stir and enjoy your iced matcha latte!
Mint Matcha Latte:
- Bring water to a boil and steep teabag(s) for 6-8 minutes. The water will cool to the appropriate 175º while the tea steeps. Remove teabags and squeeze to get the most flavor.
- Add the matcha powder, and sweetener to taste and blend with a matcha frother.
- Top with coconut milk or any non-dairy milk of your choice.
Notes
- If you don’t have an electric tea kettle or thermometer, bring the water to a boil and let rest for about 6-7 minutes. Boiled water will burn the matcha.
- If desired, gently heat the milk on the stovetop before adding it to your matcha. Be careful not to let it boil.
- For a stronger mint flavor, use 2 teabags.
- A matcha frother works best for whisking matcha and does so quickly. The paddle is made specifically to break up powders. You can also use a traditional bamboo matcha whisk or a small wire whisk. A latte frother will also work, but it’ll foam the milk, so take that into consideration when filling your mug or glass to prevent spills.
