Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for a beautifully layered matcha latte featuring creamy oat milk and aromatic vanilla foam, perfect for a calming self-care ritual.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder
  • 2 oz (60 ml) hot water (about 175°F / 80°C)
  • 8 oz (240 ml) barista-style oat milk
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp sweetener (optional, maple syrup or agave syrup)
  • 2 oz (60 ml) cold water (optional, for diluting matcha)

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
  2. Pour in 2 ounces (60 ml) of hot water at about 175°F (80°C).
  3. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk (chasen) until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
  4. Warm 8 ounces (240 ml) of oat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat to around 140°F (60°C), avoiding boiling.
  5. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and optional sweetener.
  6. Froth the warm oat milk using a milk frother until it doubles in volume and forms thick, creamy foam, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Pour the whisked matcha into a heatproof glass.
  8. Slowly pour the frothed oat milk over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect.
  9. Optionally dust a pinch of matcha powder or cinnamon on top of the foam.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Use barista-style oat milk for best frothing results. Pour oat milk slowly over the back of a spoon to maintain layers. Warm oat milk gently to avoid curdling. Clean bamboo whisk immediately after use to prevent cracking. For iced version, whisk matcha with cold water and pour over ice, topping with cold frothed oat milk.
