Ingredients You’ll Need:

Lavender Syrup: I have an incredibly delicious and simple Homemade Lavender Syrup recipe that pairs so perfectly with this drink! It’s only five ingredients and comes together in about 30 minutes! If you prefer, you can also go the store-bought syrup route for this recipe as well!
Matcha Powder: I recommend using a good quality ceremonial grade matcha powder like Jade Leaf. I like a matcha without added sugars since we’re adding lavender syrup and oat milk, but feel free to use whatever matcha powder you like best.
Water: You’ll need warm water to make a matcha latte at home. Make sure to use purified or drinking water rather than tap water.
Oat Milk: I love the combination of oat milk, lavender syrup and matcha together, but you could absolutely use any milk you enjoy in a matcha latte. Other great options include: almond milk, coconut milk, and 2% milk or whole milk!
Ice: For an iced version of this drink, you will need ice to chill the matcha latte. If you prefer a hot version, no ice is needed.
My Favorite Oat Milks
- Oatly Barista Edition Oat Milk
- Chobani Extra Creamy Oat Milk
- Bettergoods Extra Creamy Oat Milk
Equipment You’ll Need:
Matcha Bowl: This is where you’ll add the matcha powder and warm water.
Bamboo Whisk and Scoop: You’ll need a scoop to scoop out the matcha from it’s container and into your matcha bowl. The whisk is used to whisk the matcha and warm water together to get it nice and frothy.
Sifter: This tool helps break down any clumps in the matcha powder, ensuring a consistent and velvety texture in your latte. Simply scoop your matcha powder into the sifter and gently push the matcha through to break up any clumps.
Cup or Glass: Choose your favorite cup or glass to add your matcha latte. I prefer a cup that is see-through so I can see all the beautiful layers within the drink.
Steam Wand or Frother: For a hot matcha latte, you need a way to steam or warm the milk. To steam the milk, use a steam wand on an espresso machine. To froth the milk, use an electric milk frother that warms and fluffs up the milk. Note, this piece of equipment is not needed for an iced version of this drink.
Glass Straws: For an iced matcha, I like to use a glass straw to stir and enjoy the matcha latte!
