Ingredients
  

  • 0.5-1 teaspoon matcha powder  use bright green premium or ceremonial grade
  • 30 ml hot water (max. 80C/176F)
  • 200 ml warm oat milk (or other milk of choice)
  • 1-2 tsp optional- sweetener like maple or agave syrup leave it out for natural sweetness from oat milk (my recommended way) 

Equipment

  • bamboo whisk
  • small ceramic bowl with rounded bottom volume around 200-250 ml
  • glass jar with a lid if you don't have bamboo whisk it will not create the same crema`

Method
 

  1. Find all the ingredients you need for matcha latte- matcha powder, whisk, bowl and 3 glasses or bowls.

  2. Boil water
  3. If using a bamboo whisk, put it in warm water to soften up the bristles and improve the elasticity of the whisk, or at least run it under running warm tap water to make it wet.

  4. Pour some hot water in your matcha bowl to warm it up. Dry it with a clean towel before adding matcha powder to the bowl.
  5. Pour a couple of tablespoons of water in a separate glass or bowl to let it cool to about 70-75 degrees. It will take about a minute if it's just a few tablespoons (30ml). Or just add cold water to your boiled water.
  6. Warm oat milk on the stove. Be careful to take it off before it boils otherwise it will boil over and make a mess. When hot, put it aside to cool down a bit. 
  7. Take the warmed matcha bowl and put in 0.5-1 tsp of matcha powder. 
  8. Pour over 2 tablespoons of water.

  9. Using the bamboo whisk, dissolve the matcha tea powder into water using a quick zigzag motion. You can imagine you are drawing letters M or W. Ideally do not scratch the bottom of the bowl too much, rather keep the whisk in the middle part of the bowl so as not to damage the fine bristles. And try to create a silky froth layer on top like in the picture.

  10. Use the bamboo whisk to also froth up the oat milk. Remember to rinse the bamboo whisk under running water so the milk residue doesn't stick to the bristles.

  12. Enjoy as is or with a side of some healthy snacks. My favourites would be mix of some of the following- dried goji berries, roasted pistachio nuts, dried mango, figs or apricots and some pieces of dark chocolate.
