Matcha Tea Latte
(courtesy of Josiah Hejny, co-owner, Old World Coffee Lab in Reno. Serves 1)
½ teaspoon pure sifted matcha green tea (organic is preferred)
Hot water
2 ounces whole milk
1¼ teaspoons local honey (or to taste)
Add just enough hot water to matcha powder to make paste. Whisk briskly for a minute or two until smooth and matcha forms bright green foam.
Add 2 ounces steamed whole milk (also may be served with almond or coconut milk). Add honey, adjusting to taste.
(Old World Coffee Lab gives customers the option to sweeten their matcha lattes with roughly 8 grams, or about 1¼ teaspoons, honey, depending upon customer preference.)
