Matcha latte is a must-have drink for lovers of subtle and refined flavors. With its unique taste and creamy texture, it seduces as much for its vegetal notes as for its elegance. At Noen Matcha , our premium matcha is ideal for making a homemade matcha latte, whether you prefer animal or plant-based milk. Discover our simple recipe and our tips for making it a success every time.
Which Milk Should You Choose for a Matcha Latte?
The milk you use plays a key role in the taste and texture of your matcha latte. Here are some options and their characteristics:
Animal Milk
- Whole cow's milk : Provides a creamy texture and richness that blends perfectly with the vegetal notes of matcha.
- Semi-skimmed milk : A lighter alternative for a less rich but equally tasty latte.
Vegetable Milk
- Oat milk : The best choice for a plant-based matcha latte. Its natural sweetness and slightly creamy texture perfectly balance the taste of matcha.
- Almond Milk : Offers a slightly sweet flavor and a subtle nutty note, ideal for lovers of gourmet drinks.
- Coconut Milk : Adds an exotic touch, perfect for a richer, more flavorful latte.
- Soy milk : A plant-based classic, with a velvety texture that highlights the flavor of matcha.
Our tip : If you're looking for a rounded, balanced taste, oat milk or whole cow's milk are the best choices for enjoying your matcha latte.
The Classic Matcha Latte Recipe
Ingredients :
- 1 heaped teaspoon of Noen Matcha premium matcha (approx. 2g)
- 45 ml of hot water (70-80°C)
- 150 ml of milk (animal or vegetable, according to your preferences)
- 1 teaspoon of sweetener (optional: honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar)
Preparation Steps:
- Sift the matcha : Sift the matcha into a bowl or cup to avoid lumps.
- Add the hot water : Pour 45 ml of 70-80°C water over the matcha. Mix with a chasen (bamboo whisk) or an electric frother until you get a light, even foam.
- Heat the milk : Heat 150 ml of milk (animal or plant-based) over low heat. If you want a frothy texture, use a milk frother.
- Assemble : Pour the hot milk over the prepared matcha. If your milk is frothy, save the froth to place on top.
- Adjust to your taste : You can adjust the amount of matcha to make your drink stronger or weaker. For example, add 1/2 extra spoonful if you prefer a stronger taste.
- Customize : Add sweetener if desired, and sprinkle a pinch of matcha for an aesthetic finish.
Iced Variation: Iced Matcha Latte
For a refreshing version:
- Prepare matcha with cold water instead of hot water.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes.
- Pour in the cold milk and matcha, mix gently, and enjoy.
