Now, I want to share the best plant-based matcha latte recipe with you:
DESCRIPTION
Enjoy the benefits of antioxidant matcha in a creamy almond milk latte
made with Elmhurst Milked Almonds.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha powder
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place almond milk into a small saucepan and heat gently until very hot,
but not boiling.
2. Meanwhile, place matcha powder into a mug and whisk in 1/4 cup
boiling water to make a paste.
3. If using vanilla, stir into the hot almond milk. For a frothy texture, place
almond milk in blender and blend for 10-15 seconds on high. Or use
the matcha whisk to froth the milk by hand.
4. Pour the almond milk into the mug with the matcha tea, adding any
foam to the top. Drink immediately.
NOTES
• For an iced latte use the same ingredients and follow these instructions
instead:
• Whisk matcha powder with boiling water to make a paste. Let cool
slightly. Stir in vanilla and 1-2 tablespoons of the almond milk. The
mixture should be pour-able.
• Fill a tall glass with crushed ice and add the matcha mixture. Fill the
glass to the top with remaining almond milk. Drink immediately.
