Easy Matcha Latte Recipe (Hot or Iced) at Home
In our recipe tutorial, we’ll show you two easy methods to create the perfect matcha latte, whether you prefer it iced or hot.
🍴Ingredients you'll need for our recipe:
- 2 tsp (5g) green tea powder (amzn.to/4bPDTVc)
- 3 tbsp hot water (you want this around 80-85°C)
- Sugar or vanilla extract (optional but gets you closer to the Starbucks version)
- Milk or plant-based alternatives like soy, almond or oat
- Ice (optional)
👨🏼🍳 See our full recipe here: www.honestfoodtalks.com/matcha-latte-recipe/
Our first method will show you how to make an iced green tea latte without a whisk. Our second method will show you how to achieve the creamiest hot matcha latte with a milk frother.
🥣 Tools you'll need to make our easy recipe:
To mix the green tea powder, you can use a large jar or a leakproof tumbler. You can also use a bamboo whisk, electric handheld whisk, or milk frother.
We love to use a bamboo whisk to froth the matcha, as it creates a deliciously creamy mircofoam top. In our opinion, this is the best tool you can use.

I do enjoy a matcha latte with oat milk ❤ and vanilla. Where can I get a sifter of that size?? ❤❤
😍🥰👍🏼 And this is also gluten free too ❤️ I wonder if I could swap whole milk with plant based milk to make it vegan as well 😇
Yes you can! 😊
What to do if there is no sodium to make boba Recipes without sodium pls
I've been going down the rabbit hole of thai tea for the last nine months or so. I've tried the Cha Tra Mue brand (gold) and Wangderm tea bags, which I've prefered but now feel it isn't strong enough (no matter how many bags I use and after I got sick in August, it hasn't tasted the same). I prefer a stronger tea, so I've recently tried the Pantai brand and may do a taste test betwen Cha Tra Mue and Pantai. I microwave my water then put tea leaves in and let it steep for about 5-10 mns (having tried different amounts of tea leaves to find my personal sweet spot) then filtering with a small sieve between 2 large glass measuring cups. Then I add coconut sugar and pour over a lot of ice, then add half and half. Recently, I ordered a thai tea filter which I tried for the first time this morning, pouring the hot water into the filter multiple times (using 2 large glass measuring cups). This is just as much work as my previous way, but I'm researching. Tomorrow, I will just let the tea steep in the filter bag in the water. One day, I will have it perfected.
Do you think this method difference affects the taste? What number of tea did you like?
The entire video so calm and gentle. Enter the electric whisk 🤣
I have my 12th Bokksu coming in October. I love them but think they favor candy and sweets too much. I prefer savory snacks. I thought the >$500 yearly price was too high. I won’t be extending my subscription.
Thanks for the input, we appreciate you sharing your experience 😊
Curious to know why you do the opposite of what the molecular gastronomy book says about reverse spherification. They say to put calcium lactate in the flavored pearls and then a bath of sodium alginate to dip in. Why is it that you do the opposite?
Just like thai tea, it's just teh tarik with food coloring.
Unless you’re using fresh taro root to make it! 😊
Real thai milk is basically just Ceylon tea and condensed milk, the colour isn't real.
What if i want the juice inside looks the spear thinner looks too thick for my liking
I will try the recipe when I get home. Thanks
Just had some in San Miguel Allende, out of this world!
Ar the beginning, Do you keep the stove on while adding the tapioca flour?
Yes we do, but we control it between medium-low to medium heat only.
You are doing it completely wrong. oh my god delete this video
Really nice video but 5g of matcha that's crazy! 1g is enough. Recommendation is 2-3g max per day.
I absolutely love how informative this video is! I love how you explain substitutes and the pros and cons of said substitutes. I wish more recipe videos would do that.
Where can I find the agar agar powder ❤can you please tell me I want to try how to make it thank you for sharing
We usually order online from ecommerce stores like Amazon, but we always see Asian supermarkets stocking agar agar powder. Just make sure to buy unflavoured agar agar powder so that you can mix in your own flavours and colours 😊
All this just for a cup of tea 🙄
For the love of matcha! 🍵💚
😂😂
Yup 😅
Hello, How should they be stored to last longer?
After rolling the tapioca pearls, allow them to air dry for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2-3 hours). Then, we generously coat the pearls with tapioca starch before keeping the raw tapioca pearls in an airtight container, in a dry kitchen cabinet/storage. We air dry the tapioca pearls before storing them in a container because the moisture from the core of the pearls will be released gradually. If you store them immediately, the moisture will fill up the container, making a moist environment.
Can you please give me the recipe for dirty matcha latte. Thanks x
Dirty matcha ingredients: 1 teaspoon matcha powder 2 teaspoons white sugar 3 tablespoon hot water about 80°C 200 ml milk 30 ml espresso (or instant coffee) ice optional Prepare matcha w hot water, brew coffee, mix sugar in the hot coffee, then mix everything. Add ice if you want it iced cold. You can see the full recipe breakdown on our website 😊
Thank you x
How about the shipping cost? It's cost $12.50 for express shipping and no other options for shipping method. I am trying the one month sub with the cost $37.50. The thing I love Japanese snack and tea. This is for Sakuraco. I am first time subscriber of Sakuraco with a promise to get a discount of 5% but the end of my checkout, I was given a discount. Furthermore, after I paid it there was no invoice number, no receipt or even order number. I am worried now. This is the reason I took only one month subscription to try.
Ok, update , they send the receipt to my email .
Lovely video. How many grams roughly can you make in each recipe?
From our experience, between 200-250 grams of popping boba (about 1 cup)
Thank you very much!
Sorry no zongi it's zongzi ok
Hi I am richard. Joson from Mauritius your zongi is very nice but I want to testy wel done😊
You should say “simply add hot water to this amount of Matcha and stir it” that’s it. This is what you would expect from other person, don’t you?
Thanks for the recipe, made it today - love it! I was surprised how simple it is 🥰 quick question: should the mochi be wrapped when it's just warm/cooled down or pretty warm/hot-ish?
Hey there ☺️ The mochi is easiest to shape when it’s hot, but we usually wait awhile until it’s cool to touch but still pretty warm. Over time; we got used to handling it when it’s hot-ish. If you’re a beginner, we’d say don’t rush it. Allow it to cool, and slowly shape the mochi afterwards. As you get better, you can try handling it when it’s warmer/hotter.
Thank you for your detailed review, I’m going to sign up for myself and see what I think. I’m planning on signing up for 3 months and then if I like it, I’ll continue.
Hi! Is the sugar nessecary for the texture or could you use an alternative? (Monk fruit, stevia etc...)
The sugar is not necessary 😌 you can replace with other sweeteners
Ciustè!

Would Jesus like Sakuraco?
@@honestfoodtalkshe liked food 😝😊
can you add more water? seems with such little water, its over too soon
Yes you certainly can. We like ours quite thick, but you can add more water to dilute. You can also just multiply the ingredients by ratio to make more of it.
Havr tried a lot but it does noe work i use purimo sodium alginate and urban paltter calsium lactate pls help me
Very nice ❤
Very nice ❤yamee 🎉

I'd love to try this with Chai tea and add them to soy milk!!! ❤

Well now I can write your recipe down it's perfect for me to copy it down specially Tea of Course is a Perfect Dieting to.
YUM YUM!!!!!
One I put the calcium alginate with the water, it solidifies within seconds. Why is that?
May I know what type of water you’re using? Distilled or tap water? We’re not 100% sure as it’s not happened to us before… but it may be the calcium alginate reacting with your water. For us, the calcium alginate does not completely dissolve immediately, so we have to stir for a few minutes to dissolve them. However as they soak in the water, over time they completely dissolve.
actually bokksu tends to have more coupons/promotions that bring the price down to the level of sakuracos (also with coupons applied). quitting the sakuracos subscription was abysmal but waiting for my first ever box relentlessly
Interesting - thank you for sharing! 😊

Is the oil necessary? Great video!!
The oil is necessary if you’re using the oil spherification method. If you want an oil free version, then we suggest using a mould 😊
Looks good and I’m all for it if it’s natural. Better for the kids.
日本人だが偶に食べる。 ある時は緑茶、ある時は出汁をかける。 今の季節は米を水洗いして、冷やした汁で頂く冷やし茶漬けもお勧めだ。
Love it. Just came back from the business trip to Japan and absolutely loved this desert. You’re the only one that shows more natural ways of making it. The only question I have, is there an alternative of microwaving it? Would love to know the alternative. Thank you so much for the video. Will check out more of your recipes since I absolutely LOVED Japan!
Mochi’s the best isn’t it? 😊 So, I know the traditional method is to steam the dough, before kneading it using a mallet. However, you can also prepare mochi on the stove with a non-stick pan. Mix all the ingredients together, then instead of cooking it in the microwave, put in the pan to cook until it becomes semi-translucent. We’re not 100% sure of the recipe, but you may have to add abit of oil so that it doesn’t stick to the pan as much.
@@honestfoodtalkswill try! Thank you so much! Any recommendations on online stores that sell Japanese cooking thing?:)
How is cold brew matcha made?
Coconut water is mandatory?
No, you can use other liquids too - even just plain drinking water 😊
