Vegan Matcha Latte
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups non-dairy milk of choice
- 2 tsp matcha green tea powder (or more if desired)
- 3-4 tbsp hot water I boil in kettle, then use shortly after
- 1/8 - 1/4 tsp stevia powder or less/more to taste and based on brand; can use other sweeteners like maple syrup or coconut nectar to taste
- 1/8 tsp vanilla bean powder optional, see note
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add milk over medium/medium high heat. Allow the milk to heat through and start to simmer. Meanwhile, prepare the matcha. Add matcha powder to mug/cup. Add the water and use your frother to smooth it out. Once milk is heated, continue to froth while slowly adding the milk. Taste, and adjust adding sweetener if desired, vanilla bean powder, or more milk or water. Serve! Makes 1 large latte.

Notes
- I use an inexpensive frother for my latte, but you can even use a saucepan and a whisk (see recipe directions)
- I use powdered stevia to sweeten my lattes, especially using unsweetened milks. Matcha is naturally quite bitter and I don't enjoy other sweeteners in teas. If using a sweeteened vegan milk, you may choose to omit it or adjust to taste
- Use your favorite non-dairy milk! My favorite is Elmhurst unsweetened cashew. Of course, you can always make your own cashew milk.
