Directions
Here you go with these 7 steps:
- Heat the water. Make sure to not keep it until the boiling point. If it’s too hot the matcha powder can actually burn. So make it a little above lukewarm and keep ready.
- Get the coconut milk ready.If you have an electric frother then start right now. But, if you are doing it by hand, then froth it and keep it ready beforehand.
- Scoop our Aki Matcha powder into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk it with a bamboo whisk or a regular whisk. It’s your trick to break the clumps.
- Next is to pour the warm water into this powder. Now vigorously whisk it back and forth by hand.Is the powder dissolved? Make sure it does, because you want a smooth texture later.
- Now, pour this dissolved green tea into your favorite mug. Usually, this amount is to serve two people, so you can split it into two. Or choose a larger mug.
- Now add the maple syrup and stir. (Optional)
- Time to pour the milk! For the last time, if you are doing it by hand, froth the milk once more.
If it’s ready, pour your thick coconut milk over the top of your green tea. You can even make a heart if you are skilled. If not, let’s try not to spill it.
Done and dusted….sip your coconut matcha latte slowly and enjoy your day!
Are you loving it already? We know you’d love it!
Note: The sweetness shared otherwise by honey or sugar is shared by the coconut milk itself.
