Honey Cinnamon Matcha Latte (Hot or Iced)
A smooth and cosy matcha latte lightly sweetened with honey and gently spiced with cinnamon. This café-style drink can be made hot or iced in just a few minutes.
Servings: 1 serve
Ingredients
- 3 g ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 30 mL tepid water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 200 mL milk of choice
- Ice optional, for iced latte
Instructions
Iced Latte
- Add the matcha powder to a small bowl. Pour in the tepid water and whisk using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or handheld electric whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Add the honey and ground cinnamon to a glass with a small splash of water. Stir until the honey dissolves.
- Fill the glass with ice and pour in the milk of your choice.
- Slowly pour the whisked matcha mixture over the milk. Stir gently to combine before drinking.
Hot Latte
- Add the matcha powder to a small bowl. Pour in the tepid water and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Add the honey and ground cinnamon to a mug with a small splash of water. Stir until the honey dissolves.
- Pour the whisked matcha mixture into the mug and stir to combine.
- Warm the milk until steaming (but not boiling), then pour it into the mug. Stir gently before serving.
Notes
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey.
- Matcha is best whisked with water around 80°C to prevent bitterness.
- If you don’t have a bamboo whisk, a small whisk, milk frother or handheld electric whisk works well.
