Best matcha latte I made at home using this brand!

I just came back from Japan and boy would you expect me to get all the matcha powders from the best places!!

Finally got my hands on the highly raved Marukyu Koyamaen and TikTok viral place Ujicha Kigetsudo! It was such a productive day when I was able to nab all the matcha powders that I wanted within half a day of arriving in Kyoto.

10/10 recommend you to make your own matcha drink or latte at home as you are able to control the thickness, depth, sweetness and richness of your drink. Also, it probably cost around $7-10 per cup outside and you can bring this down to about $1-2 per cup by making it yourself at home, and what more its satisfaction guaranteed!

I’ve always feared that it would taste like grass especially if you drink it alone without any addition of other elements, and I can’t bring myself to drink pure milk cause it gives me that gaggy feeling.

Bringing two healthy elements - green tea and milk into one combination is one way to creatively introduce healthy ingredients into your daily intake 😂

So to my surprise I enjoyed this a lot and here is how I’ve perfected this matcha latte at home to my liking! 🍵

🍵Ingredients🍵

- 2-3 tsp matcha powder (I’m using Unkaku from Marukyu Koyamaen)

- 1 tsp honey

- 2/3 cup of milk (chilled or steamed, to your liking)

- ice and a big mug (does make a diff!)

🍵Instructions🍵

1. Add 3 tsp of matcha powder and sieve

2. Add honey and whisk with hot water until smooth

3. Prepare a cup with ice and 2/3 cup milk

4. Pour whisked matcha product over ice and milk, it’s important to do so over ice to achieve gradient effect

5. Enjoy served hot or cold!

I also like my hojicha lattes and enjoyed making it at home too. Unfortunately, Japan is bigger on matcha so there weren’t any places I could find selling hojicha powders.
