Print Recipe

A smooth and creamy homemade matcha latte with light, sweet oat milk foam that rivals coffee shop quality, made with simple pantry ingredients and easy techniques.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder (e.g., Encha or Matcha Konomi)
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) hot water at about 80°C (175°F)
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (optional): maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • 240 ml (1 cup) barista-style oat milk (e.g., Oatly Barista Edition or Califia Farms)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 60 ml (1/4 cup) water to about 80°C (175°F). Let boiled water sit for about a minute before using to avoid bitterness.
  2. Place 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl or cup. Pour in the warm water. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk until fully dissolved and light froth forms (about 20-30 seconds).
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of preferred sweetener while the matcha is still warm.
  4. Warm 240 ml (1 cup) barista oat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat or microwave for about 45 seconds until hot but not boiling (around 65°C / 150°F).
  5. Pour warm oat milk into a tall container. Add vanilla extract and sea salt if using. Froth with a milk frother until volume doubles and foam is thick and creamy (30-45 seconds electric frother).
  6. Pour whisked matcha into a cup. Slowly pour frothed oat milk over matcha, holding back foam with a spoon. Spoon oat milk foam on top to create a cloud-like layer.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of matcha powder or cinnamon on top before serving.

Notes

Use ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and smoothness. Barista-style oat milk froths better than regular oat milk. Whisk matcha vigorously in a zigzag motion to avoid clumps and create froth. If no frother, shake warm oat milk in a jar and microwave briefly to stabilize foam. Drink immediately for best texture and flavor.
