Green Matcha Latte Oat (Printable)
A creamy and vibrant green tea latte blended with frothy oat milk and naturally sweetened.
# What You'll Need:
→ Matcha Mixture
01 - 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
02 - 2 tablespoons hot water (about 80°F / 175°F)
→ Latte
03 - 1 cup oat milk
04 - 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - Sift the matcha powder into a mug to remove clumps. Add the hot water. Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk or small regular whisk until smooth and frothy.
02 - Heat the oat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling. Alternatively, microwave in a microwave-safe container for 45–60 seconds.
03 - Froth the oat milk using a milk frother or whisk until foamy.
04 - Pour the oat milk into the mug with matcha, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top. Stir in maple syrup or sweetener, if desired.
05 - Serve immediately, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of matcha powder on top.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The L-theanine in matcha creates calm focus instead of coffee jitters
- Oat milk adds natural creaminess that perfectly balances matchas earthy notes
- You can make cafe-quality lattes at home in under ten minutes
02 -
- Sifting matcha prevents those frustrating clumps that never dissolve no matter how much you whisk
- Water temperature dramatically affects taste—boiling water makes matcha unpleasantly bitter
- Barista-style oat milk creates the best foam but regular oat milk still works
03 -
- A bamboo whisk (chasen) creates better foam than a regular whisk but either works
- Invest in a small kitchen scale to measure water temperature precisely
- Pre-warm your mug with hot water for a latte that stays hot longer
