I've learned the hard way--a few times I've been handed a very expensive cup of very sweet green yuck. People love to hate on Starbucks but I know exactly what I will get there--a lightly sweetened matcha latte.

Thank you for all of these tips! One note on the sugar content of Starbucks matcha lattes, the majority of the sugar comes from the milk, not added sugar, if that matters to anyone. I have made matcha lattes at home a few times and could never get the taste quite right.

This really is a great recipe. Thank you for sharing your easy to follow recipe. What are the calories per serving along with the total carbs, fats, and total protein?

Thank you! Love matcha green tea cold latte. Healthy benefits. Drink every other day. Just started the matcha powder teas. Highly recommend for boosting metabolism and brain from strokes affected over past couple years, no short term memory. Anxious for benefactors.

Thank you for this recipe! This was simple and easy. I followed the recipe and then added agave syrup 🔥 turned out really good! I used honey and vanilla extract to sweeten it.

I also tripled the recipe so I can store it in the fridge for the rest of the week. It tastes almost exactly like the Starbucks drink. I put agave syrup for the sweetener and used vanilla almond milk.

This mix was heavenly, I went ahead and made a 3 day supply. I loved the foaminess from the blender, and 2 teaspoons of honey was just enough sweetness. Thanks so much for sharing this!!

This was way better than starbucks!!!! I needed a recipe because my other one got the drink all chunky. THIS HAD NO LUMPS!!! definitely recommend. I tweaked a few things though. First I mixed my matcha into about 4oz of hot water first then stuck it in the freeezer for a few mins.

Secondly I found that mixing it with Vanilla Almond milk with a touch of honey eliminated the need for additional sweeteners! They're also ground more quickly than ceremonial matcha leaves, contributing to a slightly coarser powder that's earthy and bitter.

This grade is typically combined with other ingredients that help balance and round out its flavor. There are several subsets of culinary-grade matcha powder , including one called latte or premium that ranks on the higher end of the quality spectrum.

It's a bit more grassy and less bitter than standard culinary grade, making it well-suited for these smooth, creamy matcha lattes.

Of course, you can use ceremonial grade here if you wish. Feel free to use your favorite milk, dairy or plant-based; just keep in mind that not all milks froth equally.

Sift the matcha powder into a mug. Add the hot water and whisk until no lumps remain. Stir in the honey. Add the milk and either whisk to combine or use a milk frother; serve immediately. Use limited data to select advertising. Create profiles for personalised advertising.

Now if your mug is too narrow to whisk the matcha in, you can whisk the matcha in a separate bowl. What I recommend is making a paste with the matcha and a smaller amount of water. Use either a spoon or a whisk to break up any clumps.

Then you can thin it out with the rest of the water once the lumps are dissolved. This can also be accomplished by heating your milk over the stove and then frothing the hot milk with a hand held milk frother or hand pump milk frother. I have a video tutorial showing 8 ways to froth milk without an espresso machine , so make sure to check that out!

I personally like my matcha latte to have a stronger matcha flavor, so I use a higher ratio of matcha to milk. Matcha is high in catechins , including Epigallocatechin gallate ECGC , a type of antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that prevents free radicals from damaging human cells or living organisms in general.

Matcha contains more catechins antioxidants per serving than regular green tea since you consume the whole leaf instead of just steeping and discarding the leaves. Some studies seem to indicate that matcha can be beneficial for reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, and could support skin health and your immune system.

Read more about the benefits of matcha here. Matcha also contains an amino acid known as L-Theanine also simply Theanine. This amino acid can promote alpha wave activity in the brain. Brain wave frequency is a spectrum: it ranges from delta waves slow to gamma waves fast. Alpha waves fall in the middle of the spectrum.

Matcha contains both L-Theanine and caffeine , which will promote a state of alertness but calmness at the same time. Unlike coffee, which gives you a burst of energy which quickly tapers off, matcha will give you the energy from caffeine with the added calmness from the Theanine.

This is sometimes called Zenergy , and I can personally attest to this benefit. Caffeine from coffee gives me the jitters, but I have to drink a lot of matcha to get the same jitters. A tall hot matcha tea latte from Starbucks contains 24 grams of sugar. A Grande contains 32 grams, and a Venti contains 43 grams of sugar.

And if you use the same quality of ingredients as Starbucks, it will only cost you about 84 cents per cup. Place the matcha, sugar, and hot water in your mug or a separate bowl if you mug is too narrow. Whisk with a matcha whisk until the matcha is completely dissolved and there are no clumps, about seconds.

Im so excited and look forward to trying this. I have a reusable starbucks cup, do you have any idea of the measurements if id like to make a VENTI? Hi Erica.

I'll be adding sugar-free vanilla syrup and using unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Also, I'd like a grande version of my beverage.

What would that recipe look like? Thank you in advance. I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS RECIPE!!! My wallet thanks you. I haven't tried almond milk for this recipe, so I really don't know how it would turn out!
