Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup hot water 170-175°F
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened oat milk
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or agave optional

Instructions

  • Heat the water in a saucepan or teapot over high heat until just before it boils, or it is 170-175°F. You want to avoid boiling water for your tea or it will compromise the flavor of the matcha.
  • Warm the oat milk in the microwave or stovetop over medium-high heat or until hot to the touch.
  • Use a milk frother to froth the oat milk until creamy.
  • Sift the matcha powder through a wire mesh sifter or strainer into a bowl.
  • Pour the hot water over the matcha and use the whisk to dissolve it. Continue whisking until small bubbles form on the surface.
  • Pour the whisked matcha and hot oat milk into a mug. Stir gently to combine and sweeten to taste with maple syrup or agave if desired. Enjoy hot.

Notes

Storage Directions
This drink is best served hot, right away, for the best taste and texture. If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, then stir and reheat before serving.
Recipe Pro-Tips
  • Use quality matcha. Your matcha latte with oat milk will only be as good as the quality of the matcha you choose. Invest in a high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha with a vibrant green color and a fresh, grassy aroma for the smoothest latte experience. 
  • Properly heat the water. Heat the water until just before boiling and use a thermometer to test the temperature. If the water is too hot, it can scorch the matcha and give it a burnt taste.
  • Sift the matcha powder. Don’t skip this step! Sifting the powder with a mesh strainer before mixing it with water helps remove any clumps and ensures a smooth, silky texture.
  • Perfect the whisking technique. Use a traditional bamboo whisk or a handheld electric frother to whisk the matcha and water together, using a vigorous zigzag motion to create a frothy top layer.
