Ingredients
Matcha Latte
- 2 grams matcha powder
- 1 ½ ounces hot water
- 1 ½ tablespoons Homemade Brown Sugar Syrup or store-bought like Torani
- 6-8 ounces 2% milk or milk of choice
- Ice cubes
Banana Cream Cold Foam
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup or homemade
- 1/2-1 tablespoon banana powder or banana pudding mix
- 2 tablespoons 2% milk
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Topping
- McCormick Salted Caramel Finishing Sugar measure with your heart
Instructions
- Prepare your hot water using a kettle, the microwave, or the stove. You want the water to be hot but not boiling, about 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place your matcha sifter over the top of your matcha bowl. Using a matcha scoop, scoop the matcha powder into the sifter over the bowl. Use the back of the scoop to gently push the matcha powder through the sifter.
- Pour the warm water over the top of the sifted matcha. Use a bamboo whisk to whisk the matcha and warm water together. You want to make back-and-forth motions with your bamboo whisk (an M or W motion). Whisk the matcha and hot water until no clumps remain, and the matcha is nice and frothy (about 1-2 minutes).
- ALTERNATIVELY, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A WHISK: Combine the matcha powder and hot water in a heat-proof cup and mix together with a handheld milk frother until the powder is dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
- To a cocktail shaker, add the brown sugar syrup, prepared matcha, the milk, and ice. Add the lid, and shake vigorously until chilled and frothy, then pour the iced matcha latte into a drinking glass.
- In a separate cup, combine the vanilla syrup, milk, and heavy cream. Use a handheld milk frother to froth until thick, creamy, and pourable.
- Gently pour the banana cream cold foam over the iced matcha latte. Finish with a light sprinkle of McCormick Salted Caramel Finishing Sugar on top, and enjoy!
