Matcha Coconut Latte

Ingredients

• 1 tsp culinary-grade matcha powder, sifted
• 2 tbsp hot water (not boiling — around 175°F/80°C)
• 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1 tsp maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener

Method

1. 1

   Sift the matcha into a bowl or mug to break up any clumps — matcha clumps easily and won't dissolve smoothly otherwise.

2. 2

   Add the hot water — water above 175°F/80°C will scorch the matcha and make it taste bitter and grassy.

3. 3

   Whisk briskly in a zigzag 'W' motion until frothy and no dry powder remains.

4. 4

   Warm the coconut milk separately until steaming, then pour it over the whisked matcha and stir in your sweetener.
