The method
Step by step
- 1
Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or a matcha bowl to prevent clumps.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Sifting ensures a smooth, lump-free latte.
- 2
Add the hot water (around 80°C or 175°F) to the sifted matcha.
Cook’s note: Water that is too hot can make the matcha taste bitter.
- 3
Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small kitchen whisk until a smooth, frothy paste forms and no lumps remain.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Whisk in a 'W' or 'M' motion for best froth.
- 4
Gently warm the milk on the stovetop or in a microwave until hot but not boiling.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: You can also froth the milk for an extra creamy texture.
- 5
If desired, stir the sweetener into the warmed milk until dissolved.
- 6
Pour the warmed milk into a mug, then gently add the whisked matcha mixture.
Cook’s note: Pouring the milk first helps create layers if you're aiming for presentation.
- 7
Stir everything together until well combined and enjoy immediately.
