How To Make A Hot Matcha Latte

Hey there, coffee lovers and matcha enthusiasts! Today, we're going to whip up a hot matcha latte that'll make your taste buds dance like nobody's watching. So, grab your apron and let's get started!

First things first: Gather your troops

You'll need:

• 2-3 teaspoons of matcha powder (ceremonial grade if you're feeling fancy)
• 2 tablespoons of hot water (around 175°F/80°C, not boiling)
• 1 cup of milk (dairy, almond, soy, whatever floats your boat)
• A whisk (a frother or immersion blender will also do the trick)
• A kettle (or a pot, if you're old school)
• A cup (obviously)

Now, let's get this party started

Start by heating your milk in the kettle or pot. While you're at it, heat some water for your matcha. Remember, we're not making tea bags here, so don't let it boil.

Once your water's hot, pour 2 tablespoons into a bowl. Add your matcha powder and whisk like you're trying to win a gold medal at the Matcha Olympics. Keep going until it's frothy and there are no lumps. Congrats, you've just made matcha!

Time to make it a latte

By now, your milk should be hot. If you're using a frother or immersion blender, now's the time to make it all fancy and foamy. If not, don't worry, we'll still be best friends.
