Postopek
Korak za korakom
- 1
Sift the matcha powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl or traditional matcha ceremonial bowl to eliminate any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Približno 1 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Sifting is crucial for preventing clumps and achieving that silky, lump-free texture characteristic of a well-made matcha latte.
- 2
Heat 60 ml of fresh water to approximately 70-80°C (158-176°F).
Približno 1 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Using water that is hot but not boiling is key; boiling water can 'burn' the delicate matcha, resulting in a bitter taste. An electric kettle with temperature control is ideal.
- 3
Pour the heated water over the sifted matcha powder in the bowl.
- 4
Whisk the matcha vigorously in a 'W' or 'M' motion with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small kitchen whisk for 1-2 minutes until the matcha is fully dissolved and a light, frothy foam forms on the surface.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Aim for a bright green, foamy mixture with no visible clumps. The more air you incorporate, the frothier your matcha base will be.
- 5
Gently pour the whisked matcha into your chosen serving mug.
- 6
Warm 240 ml of your preferred milk on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave until it is hot but not boiling, reaching about 60-70°C (140-158°F).
Približno 1 min
Kuharjeva opomba: For an extra creamy and luxurious texture, use a milk frother to create a thick foam with your warmed milk before pouring.
- 7
Carefully pour the warmed milk (and foam, if frothed) into the mug with the prepared matcha.
Kuharjeva opomba: Pour slowly to create beautiful layers, or pour directly into the center for a more integrated drink.
- 8
If desired, add 1 teaspoon of your chosen sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or agave) and stir gently to combine.
Kuharjeva opomba: Taste your latte before adding sweetener, as the natural sweetness of the milk and matcha might be sufficient for your preference.
- 9
Serve immediately and savor your freshly made, invigorating matcha latte.

Pravilno shranjevanje
This matcha latte is a perfect pick-me-up for any time of day. For a dairy-free option, use oat milk or almond milk, which both froth beautifully. You can also experiment with different sweeteners like a pinch of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon for added flavor. Pair it with a light pastry or fresh fruit for a delightful morning or afternoon treat.
Matcha lattes are best enjoyed immediately after preparation. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Gently reheat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm. Avoid boiling. Reheating may slightly diminish the frothy texture.
