How To Make The 4 Ingredient Matcha Latte from TikTok

Prep Time: 4 Minutes
Serving Size: 1 Cup

If you’ve ever had a good matcha latte then you understand the delicious, smooth taste you are expecting in that first sip. Its perfectly logical for you to expect a certain experience when drinking a matcha latte. Its also very normal that the matcha you receive from coffee shops is quite different than you expect. Without going too deep into the grading system of matcha, many shops prioritize minimizing cost versus maximizing customer experience. This often leads to shops selling culinary grade (meant for cooking and baking) in their matcha drinks. The texture is a bit grittier and the color is a bit more pale – both signifying the lower quality.

Lets be honest though, many people get the “green drink” for cute instagram photos, but actually don’t like it. Its not “matcha’s fault” as a whole, but the specific matcha being used often creates the bad experience. If you’ve ever had a matcha latte from one of the shops using our ceremonial grade matcha, you’re one of the lucky ones. With RW Golden Ceremonial Grade matcha, you can expect quality delivered consistently.

You don’t need fancy equipment, expensive ingredients or need to be a trained barista to make a delicious matcha latte at home. With four simple ingredients, you can impress your taste buds, as well as those of your friends who said you can’t cook. Follow this simple Step-by-Step guide and you’ll earn the title of “Matcha King/Queen” in your circles in no time.

Ingredients Needed

•Milk (Oat, Almond, Coconut). Dairy also works but doesn’t accentuate the flavor profile of the matcha. For more on this check out our article on The Best Milk for Matcha Lattes. – 3/4 Cup
•RW Golden Ceremonial Grade Matcha Power. Ceremonial Grade matcha is the highest consumer grade matcha available. – 2-3 grams
•Pure Maple Syrup (This can be swapped with Pure Honey for a different matcha experience) – 1 tbsp
•Hot Water (160º – 180ºF). Water hotter than 180ºF will burn the tannins in the matcha and can only be “saved” with artificial sweeteners that cancel out any potential health benefits. – 2 ounces

Step-by-Step Guide For The Delicious 4 Ingredient Matcha Latte

1. Add 2-3 grams of RW Golden matcha powder into a glass measuring cup. Note: It can be plastic but being able to see through it helps
2. Using an electric frother wand (not turned on), mix up the powder while trying to break up any clumps.
3. Pour 1-1.5 ounces of hot water into your measuring cup with the powder. Without turning on the frother wand, mix it again. Try to get any powder that stuck to the sides of the measuring cup off. 
4. Turn on the frothing wand and mix the water and matcha until there are no clumps left over. Note: This can be done with a spoon or whisk, but may take a bit longer.
5. In your drinking cup, add 3/4 of a cup of milk and a handful of ice.
6. Combine the matcha from the measuring cup and the milk from your drinking glass together. At this point you will have your matcha, milk and ice in your drinking cup.
7. Sweeten to taste. We recommend 1 tablespoon (15mL) of pure maple syrup into your drinking glass and stir. 

You’ve now got a delicious, high-quality matcha latte at home. You can make this in minutes, at a fraction of the cost.
