How to make a Turmeric Matcha Latte Recipe
Step One:
Prepare the Matcha
Start by sifting matcha and turmeric powder into a bowl to avoid clumps. Add water (not boiling) and whisk vigorously using either a bamboo whisk or an electric whisk until combined. Stir in your sweetener.
Step Two :
Heat the Milk
Warm and frother your milk. You can use an electric warmer and milk foamer or a handheld whisk.
Combine the Ingredients
Pour the prepared matcha and turmeric mixture into a large mug. Slowly add the warmed milk on top. Feel free to stir as desired.
Optional Foam
If you like, froth a little extra milk and gently spoon the foam on top of your latte for an extra creamy experience.
Serve and Enjoy
Sip slowly and enjoy! Savor the blend of flavors, and take a moment to relax with your cozy fall drink.
Expert Tips and Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, make sure your matcha and turmeric powders are fresh. Check expiration dates and store them in a cool, dry place.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to tweak the amount of vanilla simple syrup to suit your taste. Honey or agave syrup can be great alternatives if you’re looking for healthier options.
- Experiment with Milk: Different types of milk will slightly alter the taste and consistency of the latte. Try experimenting with oat milk for a creamier texture or almond milk for a nuttier flavor.
- Consider Iced Latte: For a refreshing twist, try making this latte iced. Simply prepare the matcha and turmeric as directed, chill the mixture, and pour over ice with cold milk.
FAQ
Absolutely! Feel free to swap the vanilla simple syrup with honey, agave syrup, or even maple syrup. Each will give a slightly different flavor, so pick what you love the most.
Adding black pepper is optional. If you prefer a milder taste, you can leave it out.
You can use any milk you prefer. Dairy milk will offer a creamy texture, while non-dairy options like almond, soy, or oat milk will provide different flavor profiles and levels of creaminess.
Yes, there are other options if you don’t have a bamboo or electric whisk. A simple matcha latte hack is to use a protein shaker bottle with a blender ball to mix the powders with water. This method works very well.
It’s best to enjoy the latte fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a day. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking.
