Mocha Matcha Latte Recipe
Mocha Matcha Latte, a matcha green tea powder latte with rich dark cocoa powder. A cozy and antioxidant-rich pick-me-up that's ready in under 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 12 ounces milk or milk alternative
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Prep matcha: Add matcha powder and cocoa powder to a small bowl or mug. Add hot water and whisk well to fully dissolve the dry powders into the hot water.
- Heat milk: Bring milk of choice to a low simmer in a small sauce pan, or heat for 60-90 seconds in the microwave.
- Mix milk into matcha and cocoa: Pour the heated milk over the dissolved matcha and cocoa mixture. Stir with a spoon until completely dissolved.
- Sweeten (optional): If using unsweetened milk and you would like a sweeter latte, add 1 teaspoon of sweetener of choice (we like maple syrup) and mix until well combined.
- Garnish (optional): Sprinkle with matcha powder and/or cocoa powder, add a few vegan marshmallows, or add a few drops of peppermint oil and a candy cane for a holiday treat
Notes
- Recommended tools: matcha set, latte mug and saucer, small saucepan
- How much matcha to use: You can use 1 or 2 teaspoons of matcha powder for one single serving latte, depending on taste and how much caffeine you want in your latte. We recommend starting with 1 teaspoon and then adding more to taste after making the latte.
- Recommended milk: We like to use oat milk or pea protein milk in our lattes as they are both great tasting when heated and have a creamier texture than other plant-based milks.
- Where to buy matcha: we typically purchase daily drinking matcha from our local grocer, however we like to order Stonemill Matcha from San Francisco when buying high end ceremonial matcha
- Leftovers and storage: We recommend making each mocha matcha latte individually and not keeping leftovers, for best flavor. However, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. We do not recommend freezing.
- Nutrition notes: This recipe uses all plant-based, gluten-free ingredients, so it is appropriate for vegan diets. Nutrition information was estimated using regular oat milk nutrition data. This latte is high in naturally-occurring antioxidants from both matcha and mocha (*nutrition information reviewed by dietitian Kristina Todini, RDN*).
