Ingredients

Scale

Matcha Preparation

  • 1–2 teaspoons high-quality or ceremonial matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons warm water (approx. 175°F / 80°C)

Brown Sugar Syrup

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Assembly

  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, etc.)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill your serving glass)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brown Sugar Syrup: Combine equal parts brown sugar and water (1/2 cup each) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow it to cool before using.
  2. Whisk the Matcha: Sift 1 to 2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps. Add about 2 tablespoons of warm water (around 175°F or 80°C) and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion using a bamboo whisk or electric frother until you achieve a smooth, frothy, lump-free paste.
  3. Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour in 3 to 4 tablespoons of the cooled brown sugar syrup. Add 1 cup of your chosen milk or milk alternative. Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the milk to create a beautiful layered effect.
  4. Stir and Enjoy: Optionally, gently stir the latte to blend the flavors or leave it layered for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing summer treat.

Notes

  • Use freshly opened, high-quality matcha powder for the best color and flavor.
  • Do not use boiling water; keep water around 175°F (80°C) to avoid bitterness.
  • A bamboo whisk or electric frother helps achieve a smooth, frothy matcha.
  • Brown sugar syrup can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Pour matcha slowly over the back of a spoon to maintain distinct layers in the drink.
  • Customize sweetness and milk type according to your dietary preferences.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk.
  • Additional variations include adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, or protein powder.
  • Serve in clear glassware with reusable straws for an Instagram-worthy presentation.
