  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 g matcha powder
  • 1/4 cup / 60 ml warm water (∼70°C / 160°F)
  • 15-20 g (2 squares) dark chocolate or 1 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup / 150 ml plant-based milk (such as soy milk)

Optional

  • Maple syrup to sweeten
  • Date syrup for decorating the glass

Instructions

  1. Prepare the matcha: Sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove any lumps, ensuring a smooth blend. Add the warm water heated to about 70°C (160°F) and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until the mixture becomes frothy.
  2. Melt the chocolate: If using chocolate squares, chop them into smaller pieces to facilitate melting. This helps distribute the chocolate evenly when heated.
  3. Heat the milk and combine: Add the plant-based milk along with the chocolate pieces or chips to a milk frother. Heat and froth the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and the milk is warm and creamy.
  4. Decorate the glass: To create a decorative effect, pour date syrup into the bottom of the serving glass. Dip the milk frother into the syrup and lift it slightly, then pulse the frother on and off briefly to create a swirl pattern on the inside of the glass.
  5. Layer and serve: Pour the prepared matcha into the decorated glass first, then gently add the warm chocolate milk on top. Sweeten with maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and creamy Chocolate Matcha Latte.

Notes

  • Use a fine mesh sieve to sift matcha powder to avoid clumps and achieve a smoother texture.
  • Warm the water to about 70°C (160°F) to avoid burning the matcha, which can cause bitterness.
  • A milk frother helps melt the chocolate evenly and creates a creamy texture; if unavailable, gently heat milk and chocolate together on stovetop and whisk well.
  • Decorating the glass with date syrup is optional but adds an attractive presentation and subtle sweetness.
  • Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding maple syrup or other sweeteners.
