Matcha Latte

Matcha Latte is a versatile and healthy beverage enjoyed by many worldwide. However, it's also a tricky one that lends itself to a few common mistakes and queries. People often go wrong by directly adding matcha powder to milk or hot water which often results in a lumpy, uneven mix. It's crucial to remember to first make a well-mixed paste of matcha and a tiny amount of water or milk before adding the rest. To get the most out of your Matcha Latte, invest in high-quality, culinary-grade matcha powder. The quality of the matcha determines the taste of your latte. Always remember to sift the matcha before using it to ensure it is lump-free. Additionally, use frothy milk, either dairy or plant-based(in case of vegan or lactose intolerance) to get a nice creamy texture. Also, experiment with natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup to add a touch of sweetness. Here's a pro tip! Use water heated to around 80C to avoid burning and hurting the delicate flavors of matcha. Room temperature water can be used to create a paste with matcha before adding the hot water.
