Ingredients (Serves 1)

• Matcha powder: 1–1.5 teaspoons

• Honey or syrup: 1–2 teaspoons (optional, adjust to taste)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Whisk the Matcha
   In a small bowl or cup, add the matcha powder and pour in 2–3 tablespoons of hot water (around 80°C/176°F).
   Use a whisk (a matcha whisk works best, but any small whisk will do) to mix until smooth and free of clumps.
2. Warm the Milk
   Heat the milk in a small pot on the stove or in the microwave until it’s warm but not boiling.
   For an extra café-like experience, froth the milk using a whisk or frother to create a light foam.
3. Combine Matcha and Milk
   Pour the whisked matcha into your favorite mug, then slowly add the warm milk.
   If you made frothy milk, gently spoon the foam on top for a nice touch.
4. Sweeten and Garnish
   Stir in honey or syrup for a hint of sweetness, if desired.
   For a finishing touch, sprinkle a pinch of matcha powder on top as a garnish.

Tips for Success

• No matcha whisk? No problem! You can use a regular whisk, a small fork, or even shake the matcha mixture in a jar to dissolve the powder.
• If you prefer an iced matcha latte, simply use cold milk and add ice cubes. You can still whisk the matcha with a small amount of hot water first for a smooth texture.
