FAQ About Matcha Latte
What are the ingredients of a matcha latte?
The ingredients of a basic matcha latte typically include:
- Matcha powder
- Hot water
- Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Optional sweetener (such as honey or agave syrup)
Matcha powder is the primary ingredient in a matcha latte, and is made from finely ground green tea leaves that have been shade-grown and harvested. Hot water is used to whisk the matcha powder into a smooth paste before milk is added to create a frothy and creamy latte. The type of milk used can vary, depending on personal preference or dietary restrictions, and can include cow's milk, almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or any other non-dairy milk. Some people choose to add a sweetener like honey or agave syrup to their matcha latte, although this is optional and can be adjusted according to taste. Additional flavorings like vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg can also be added for extra taste.
