Whether you're new to matcha or seeking to elevate your daily ritual, this guide will show you how to create a silky matcha latte that feels as good as it tastes.
What You’ll Need
Your Matcha Toolkit
To craft a matcha latte that’s smooth, flavorful and balanced, start with the right tools.
Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
For the best results, always choose high-quality ceremonial grade matcha. It gives you a soft, umami-rich flavor that blends beautifully with milk. Refined, not bitter.
Chawan (Matcha Bowl)
Wide and shallow, a chawan gives you the space to whisk with intention and ease.
Chasen (Bamboo Whisk)
Essential for blending your matcha into a smooth, lump-free consistency with a gentle layer of foam.
Chashaku (Bamboo Scoop)
The traditional tool for measuring just the right amount of matcha powder.
Milk Frother
Use a hand frother, electric device or French press to create a cloud of creamy milk foam.
Step 1
Prepare Your Milk
Warm your milk to around 60°C — hot, but not boiling.
Froth until creamy and airy, with soft microfoam on top.
Tip: Oat, almond or coconut milk work beautifully. Just choose what feels good to you.
Step 2
Whisk Your Matcha
Sift 1 to 2 grams of ceremonial matcha into your chawan.
Add 60 ml of warm water (around 70–80°C).
Whisk gently with your chasen in a W-shaped motion until a fine layer of foam appears.
This is your matcha base — smooth, vibrant and ready to shine.
Step 3
Bring It All Together
Pour your frothed milk into your favorite cup or glass.
Then slowly pour in your matcha — for that beautiful marbled swirl.
Or, reverse the steps if you prefer a layered effect.
Add a touch of sweetener if you like — maple syrup, agave or a drop of vanilla are perfect choices.
Now pause. Sip slowly. Let the ritual ground you.
A Few Extra Tips for a Better Latte
• Always use fresh, properly stored matcha — keep it sealed and away from light.
• Adjust the milk-to-matcha ratio to suit your personal taste.
• Use your 100-prong chasen for the smoothest texture and most delicate foam.
