in recipes-milk frother

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha green tea powder
  • 2 ounces hot water
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • Sweetener to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the matcha paste: In a clean bowl, add the matcha powder and hot water. Use a bamboo whisk or handheld mixer to whisk rapidly in a “W” motion. This will fully dissolve the matcha and create a smooth, lump-free paste. This step is crucial for achieving the desired flavor and aroma in your matcha latte.
2. Froth the milk: Pour the milk into a milk frother and select the appropriate setting. Froth until the milk expands in volume, with a creamy and bubbly surface similar to whipped cream. The frothed milk should have a smooth and silky texture, which will add richness to the latte.
3. Combine the ingredients:_choose a elegant glass or ceramic cup. Pour the matcha paste into the cup, filling about one-third of it. Then, slowly pour the frothed milk down the side of the cup to allow the milk and matcha paste to blend naturally, creating a beautiful layered effect. Control the pouring speed to avoid破坏 the milk foam or losing heat.
4. Adjust sweetness: Sprinkle a little matcha powder on the surface of the drink as a garnish, enhancing its visual appeal and adding extra matcha flavor. If a sweeter taste is preferred, add your desired sweetener—such as honey, white sugar, or syrup—and gently stir to distribute the sweetness evenly. Be careful not to over-stir to maintain the texture of the milk foam and the layered appearance of the drink.
Enjoyment: Now your Velvety Matcha Latte is ready! It combines the refreshing matcha with the richness of milk, offering a smooth and delicate taste. Whether enjoyed with bread for breakfast or during an afternoon tea break, it promises a delightful sense of happiness.
