Matcha Latte
Prep Time
Total Time
Author: Talia
Yield: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha (see Notes for suggestions)
- 1 scoop collagen (optional - see Notes)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup filtered water
- ¾ cup milk of choice
Instructions
- Heat water and milk over low heat until warm, roughly 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add to blender with remaining ingredients and blend for 1 to 2 minutes or until frothy.
Notes / Variations
- I've tried a handful of matcha brands and have found these to be my favorites: Organic Burst, MEM Matcha, Kyoto Ippodo. If you're new to the matcha scene, Amazon is a good place to start -- I suggest going with an organic, culinary-grade matcha powder.
- Again, if you're just trying matcha for the first time, I suggest using ½ teaspoon to start. Work your way up to 1 full teaspoon (or more!) slowly.
- When I don't feel like dragging out my blender for just one cup of matcha, I'll use a handheld frother or even a cocktail shaker -- just use what you have!
- I blend collagen peptides (always Vital Proteins!) into my matcha latte for additional collagen and protein. It also makes it extra frothy! Not necessary, but I highly recommend.
