CAN I MAKE A VANILLA MATCHA LATTE AT HOME WITHOUT A MILK FROTHER?

Yes, a milk frother does create the best foam, but you can achieve a good froth by vigorously whisking or shaking heated milk in a tightly sealed container. If this is too much effort, you can simply heat the milk and pour it over the matcha and it will still taste delicious.

CAN I MAKE A KETO-FRIENDLY VANILLA MATCHA LATTE?

Yes, you can make a keto-friendly version by choosing a keto-approved sweetener (or omitting sweetener altogether)

Prepare the Matcha Paste: Sift matcha powder into a glass or mug. Add a small amount of hot water (not boiling) and whisk until a smooth paste forms.

Notes

Milk Temperature: Ensure that your milk is heated but not boiling. Boiling water or milk will affect the taste and you will end up with bitter matcha.

Use a Milk Frother: I like using a hand-held milk frother, I find this works best. They are relatively inexpensive and worth the purchase, especially if you are making lattes regularly.

Add More Sweetener if Needed: If you love sweet drinks then taste your latte and add more sweetener if you like.

Choose High-Quality Matcha: Try to use the best grade matcha. It's not necessary but it will improve the flavor of your latte.
