Vanilla Matcha Green Tea Latte

10/9/2018

One of the rare caffeinated drinks I'm willing to risk drinking! (Albeit, only if it's near morning.) My saving grace is that, even as one of the higher caffeinated teas out there, green tea doesn't seem to spike so quickly as, say, black tea. So, in general I find it easier to tolerate the effects of green tea and, of course, can't get enough of its beautiful scent and taste. First learned from here.
  • 1/2 tsp. matcha powder (or green tea)
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice), warmed
  • 1 Tbsp.+ sweetener of choice (I used honey, vegans use maple syrup or agave)
  1. Add matcha powder to your french press. Add water, almond milk, and sweetener, and mix until combined. It’s OK if the matcha doesn’t completely dissolve. (If using green tea instead of matcha, let the green tea steep for a few minutes first before removing.)
  2. Insert the press and quickly push it down, then pull it up continuously for 15 seconds, or until the latte is frothed to your liking.
  3. Pour into an 8-oz. cup, using a spoon to scoop out the foam and place it on top.

    No Caffeine Needed

    I am, by nature, already a pretty high-energy person, but I like a beautiful-looking mug of something frothy and delicious-looking as much as the next person. I obtained a French press so that I could feel fancy at home too, but nearly everything I make from it is, by necessity, caffeine-free, so that I don't vibrate my way out of my skin the rest of the day (or drive everyone else around me crazy).
