This drink offers a perfect balance of caffeine and antioxidants, making it an energizing yet soothing choice. Enjoy it hot or iced for a café-quality experience at home.

Ingredients
    For the Matcha Layer:
  • 1 tsp matcha powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
  • 2 tbsp hot water (about 80°C/175°F)
  • 1 tsp honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
    • For the Coffee Layer:
  • 1 shot (30ml) espresso (or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee)
    • For the Milk Base:
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy like oat, almond, or soy)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (for iced version)
Instructions
    Prepare the Matcha
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to prevent clumps. Add 2 tbsp hot water and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until smooth and frothy. Stir in the sweetener if using. Set aside.
    2. Prepare the Coffee
  2. 2
    Brew a shot of espresso using an espresso machine or prepare strong coffee using a French press or drip method. Let it cool slightly if making an iced version.
    3. Froth the Milk
  3. 3
    Heat the milk on the stovetop or microwave until warm (not boiling). Froth using a milk frother, whisk, or blender until light and foamy.
    4. Assemble the Latte
  4. 4
    For a hot latte: Pour the frothed milk into a cup, then gently add the matcha layer, followed by the coffee. For an iced latte: Add ice cubes to a glass, pour in milk, then carefully layer the matcha and coffee on top for a beautiful gradient effect.
    5. Enjoy!
  5. 5
    Stir gently before drinking to blend the flavors. Serve immediately.
Note
  • For a smoother texture, sift the matcha powder before whisking.
  • Use whole milk for a richer taste or oat milk for a creamier non-dairy alternative.
  • Adjust the coffee-to-matcha ratio based on personal preference.
  • For an iced version, let the coffee cool before pouring to prevent melting the ice too quickly.
