Elsie and I each got home espresso machines for Christmas this year.
Since then we’ve been experimenting making different syrups and latte flavors. I thought I would be fun to try making the perfect green tea latte since I’m a little obsessed with matcha lately.

For one latte you need: 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon matcha
The powder can easily clump up so finding an efficient way to incorporate it into the milk is essential. I use a tea steeper (from David’s Tea) to sift the powder into the milk, whisking as I do. You could also use a regular size sifter or fine mesh sieve.
Just sift the powder on to a small piece of wax or parchment paper and then poor it into the milk and whisk.
Once you have your clump-free green tea milk, now we just need to add heat and froth it up. 🙂 I used my steaming wand on my espresso machine. But you could also do this in a small pot on the stove top. Whisk as the milk heats up to get that frothy latte top.
You can sweeten your latte with honey flavored syrup or a little sugar. Enjoy! xo. Emma
I followed this recipe and I’m in love with it. Unfortunately, matcha tea is quite expensive. Way more expensive than coffee.
This seems yummy! I love to try this tea. Thanks a lot for sharing this one.
I put the powder in the bottom of my cup with a bit of hot water, mix it, and then add the milk afterwards. Works for me!
This is one of my favorite drinks! I love Matcha so much.

I love this recipe. I don’t drink any coffee at all but I never thought of the myriad of other drinks that could be made with an espresso maker. Keep the recipes coming!
I love your guys site. I pretty much have a green tea latte everyday! I actually linked to your recipe on matcha green tea donuts the other day on my green tea website that I recently started. I’m such a newbie at the whole blog thing. If you stumble to my site, any comments or suggestions would be appreciated 🙂
Thanks for sharing some amazing things here!

I had never seen green tea before. It looks tasty; I will try it once for sure.
That sounds absolutely divine. I’m going to assume this is ten times cheaper than the green tea lattes at Starbucks, so I might as well give this a go and save a few bucks! Thanks for the recipe. C:

Great tips! I’ve tried making matcha latte before and it wasn’t so good, but I think I may be inspired to try again 🙂
I love all things green tea so I’ll definitely have to try this out for sure! 🙂

Emma….where did you purchase your Matcha Green Tea Powder??!! This looks delicious…..and gorgeaux by the way!!!
I have never tried macha but this latte looks like a perfect introduction.
hey, isn’t “honey-flavoured syrup”, honey?
Yum, I’m a huge fan of green tea lattes!
This looks to die for.
This intrigues me. I am not fond of green tea but I love latte.
I love green tea latte! I shall try 🙂

This is the only drink I order at Starbucks! I’d love to be able to make them at home <3 THANK YOU
Be careful with the green tea. Too much decreases the body’s ability to absorb folic acid and iron. Folic acid is a B vitamin and is in your prenatal vitamins to help baby’s spinal development. But this looks yummy! I’m sure in moderation of course, it’s all good! 🙂
