- 1.5 teaspoon matcha tea powder
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon condensed milk sweetened
- 1/4 cup water warm
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 6 to 8 cubes ice
- whipped cream optional
In a mason jar, add matcha powder, brown sugar, vanilla bean paste, water and condensed milk. Use an electric hand whisk to combine everything. Scrape the bottom and sides of the jar with a mixing spoon to make sure there are no clumps of matcha. Add milk, heavy cream, and 2-3 ice cubes. Then close the mason jar and shake it for 10 to 15 seconds.
Pure into a cup of ice cubes, add some whipped cream, dust some matcha powder on top and enjoy!
- The water you use should not be too hot or else the matcha will come out tasting bitter and totally ruin the flavor. The temperature of the water must be around 140F/ 60C.
- You may skip the heavy cream and just add more milk instead. However, there might be a slight difference in the creaminess of the drink.
- Adjust the sugar as per your taste but do not skip the condensed milk, it is another important ingredient to get a super creamy latte.
- Any type of milk works here, although I prefer to use whole milk.
