Tips for Professionals
- Get some good matcha! Ceremonial grade will give you the greatest taste and color.
- Don’t use water that is boiling. Hot water (but not boiling) stops matcha from getting bitter.
- Froth the milk to make it look like it came from a café! You can get that silky foam with a milk frother or blender.
- Change the sweetness to what you like. Honey, maple syrup, or even vanilla syrup are all fantastic.
- Make it cold! To make a cold cinnamon matcha latte, pour the matcha over ice.
Changes and Replacements
- Use oat, almond, or coconut milk instead of dairy.
- For a spiced twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to give it an extra rush of cinnamon.
- To make it sweeter, add more vanilla syrup or brown sugar syrup.
- For a stronger matcha flavor, add 1½ tsp of matcha.
