1 cup milk (or plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions:

Prepare Matcha

Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps.
Add hot water (not boiling) and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small hand frother until smooth and frothy.

Heat Milk

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat, being careful not to boil.
Froth the milk using a frother or whisk until it becomes creamy with a layer of foam on top.

Combine

Pour the prepared matcha into your favorite cup. Add sweetener like honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Gently pour the frothed milk over the matcha, holding back the foam with a spoon. Top with the remaining foam.

Serve:

Enjoy your matcha latte warm for a comforting treat, or serve over ice for a refreshing iced matcha latte.

Tips for Success:

Perfect Matcha: Use high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
Frothing Technique: For a creamier texture, heat the milk to about 150°F before frothing.
Sweetener Alternatives: Adjust sweetness with agave syrup, stevia, or coconut sugar to suit your taste.
