Matcha Oat Milk Latte

Sift 1-2 teaspoons of ceremonial grade matcha powder into a small bowl or a traditional matcha bowl (chawan) to prevent clumps. This ensures a smooth, lump-free beverage.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of hot water (around 175°F or 80°C) to the matcha powder. Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small electric whisk, whisk vigorously in a W or M motion until a smooth, bright green paste forms with a fine foam on top. This process is crucial for dissolving the matcha properly.

For a hot latte, gently heat 1 cup of oat milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling. For an iced latte, ensure your oat milk is thoroughly chilled.

If you desire a frothy latte, use a milk frother, immersion blender, or whisk to froth the warm oat milk until it reaches your desired consistency. This adds a luxurious texture to your drink.

Pour the frothed (or chilled) oat milk into your serving glass. If making an iced latte, add ice cubes to the glass first. Gently pour the whisked matcha over the oat milk. This creates a beautiful layered effect.

If desired, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of your preferred sweetener, such as maple syrup, agave, or honey, until well combined. Stir gently before enjoying your vibrant and creamy Matcha Oat Milk Latte immediately.
