This recipe combines two of our favorite teas; our Ceremonial Matcha powder and our classic Moroccan Mint. Feel free to tweak the recipe to your liking. Use two tea bags for extra mint flavor. Add more warm milk if your brew is too strong.
Latte Art Tips
-
- To achieve latte art, you will need a milk frother, such as this one from Instant Pot on Amazon. The microfoam and overall milk consistency required for opaque designs is very difficult to achieve otherwise. If you don’t have a frother, however, you can still create foam with a jar or blender, but you’ll have to skip the latte art.
- Whole milk will create the best foam due to its high fat content. When opting for non-dairy milk go for coconut or barista-edition oat milk or almond milk (these are found in the refrigerated milk section).
- The design pictured is a free pour design, which means it was created freehand while pouring the steamed milk into the matcha blend.
