Ingredients

To create the perfect Matcha Latte, you'll need:

• 250ml iced milk – Provides a refreshing and creamy base.
• 10ml matcha liquid – Adds a subtle, earthy sweetness and a vibrant green color.
• 18g coffee beans – Freshly ground coffee for the best flavor extraction.
• 30-45ml espresso – Brings a rich, bold coffee flavor that complements the matcha.

How to Make a Matcha Latte

Follow these simple steps to craft this delicious and visually stunning drink:

Step 1: Mix the Matcha Base

Start by adding 10ml of matcha liquid to 250ml of iced milk in a glass. Stir well to evenly distribute the matcha throughout the milk.

Step 2: Froth the Milk

For an extra creamy texture, froth the matcha-infused milk until it reaches a fine, velvety consistency.

Step 3: Brew the Espresso

Using a double cup portafilter, grind 18g of coffee beans with a coffee grinder and tamp firmly to ensure proper extraction.

Step 4: Combine the Espresso

Extract a 30-45ml shot of espresso using an espresso machine, then carefully pour it into the glass with matcha milk. This creates a beautiful layering effect and enhances the overall taste.
