Función Premium
The matcha latte offers a unique blend of earthy, vegetal, slightly bitter matcha balanced by the creamy sweetness of milk and sweetener (if added).
The dominant flavor is the vegetal, slightly grassy, and subtly bitter taste of matcha. High-quality matcha contributes a smoother, less astringent flavor. The milk (dairy or non-dairy) provides creaminess and sweetness, softening the matcha's intensity. Sweeteners like sugar, honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar add further sweetness to balance the bitterness.

Sifting the Matcha
Sifting the matcha powder before whisking helps to remove clumps and create a smoother, more even distribution in the liquid.
Water Temperature
Using water that is hot but not boiling (around 175°F or 80°C) prevents the matcha from becoming bitter.
Whisking Technique
Whisking the matcha and a small amount of hot water vigorously in a zig-zag motion (using a traditional bamboo whisk or a milk frother) creates a smooth, frothy paste without lumps.
Milk Frothing
Frothing the milk before adding it to the matcha provides a lighter, more luxurious texture to the latte.
