Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon good-quality Matcha green tea powder*
- 1/3 cup very hot, filtered water (about 85 degrees)**
- 1 cup sweetened almond milk***
Directions:
- Add the Matcha powder into a mug.
- Whisk the 1/3 cup of very hot water into the Matcha powder until no clumps remain. I like to use my mini OXO stainless steel whisk - it works perfectly.
- In a small pot on the stove-top, heat the almond milk until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat.
- Pour the almond milk into a 2 to 4 cups French press. Using the plunger, rapidly plunge the milk for about 45 to 60 seconds, until the milk gets nice and frothy. If you don't have a French press you can use a milk frother, or simply whisk the milk rapidly in the pot. Be careful not to splatter the hot milk on your skin.
- Slowly pour the frothed almond milk into the Matcha latte. Gently stir once or twice to incorporate, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
