  1. Heat and prepare the bowl:
    Pour hot water into the bowl, or Chawan , to warm it up and prepare it for preparation.
  2. Prepare the whisk:
    Dip the bamboo whisk, or Chasen , in hot water for a few seconds. This helps to relax it and make it more flexible.
  3. Dry the bowl:
    Empty the bowl and wipe it gently with a clean cloth.
  4. Sift the matcha powder:
    Sift 4-5g of matcha powder directly into the bowl to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  5. Add the cold milk:
    Pour 30 ml of cold milk into the bowl containing the matcha powder.
  6. Whisk the matcha and milk:
    Whisk the mixture vigorously in an "infinity" shape for about a minute.     This will give a smooth, slightly frothy texture.
  7. Add sugar (optional):
    If you like a touch of sweetness, add 2 to 5 g of sugar syrup according to your taste.     Mix well.
  8. Assemble your matcha latte:
    Fill a glass with ice cubes and add 120 ml of cold milk . Carefully pour the matcha mixture on top to create a layered effect.

Tips for a Successful Matcha Latte:

  • Choose a quality matcha : Use a ceremonial matcha powder to ensure a rich, authentic taste.
  • Experiment with milk : You can use whole milk, vegetable milk (almond, oat, soy) to vary the flavors.
  • Serve hot or cold : This method works equally well for an iced matcha latte or a hot version.
