Avoid This Type of Milk With Your Matcha Latte 🙅🏻♀️

- The answer, if you ask me, is any plant milk you like BUT I would not recommend dairy milk, and I promise I’m not just saying that because I’m vegan.
When you mix matcha directly with milk, the casein protein in dairy milk binds to polyphenols in matcha, alters the bioavailability and blocks absorption of antioxidants. In short, you’re missing out on potential health benefits that matcha has to offer.
The good news is, this isn’t an issue with plant milk, so opt for something like oat, almond, soy or whatever else you’d like! It’s better for the planet anyway 🙂

*nods as I sip the Walmart matcha I whisked with a fork*
😆😆 ay, whatever gets the job done!!
Consider investing in a milk frother. They do the job just like a matcha whisk does
But that Walmart matcha is so good tho😂
@@Imowe_ EXACTLY 😩
Honestly I just blend matcha with some milk and water in a blender and pour it w ice :/
Love oat milk, its creamy and rich ❤
Agreed but it'a really expensive in my country sadly
@@theocritus2677 it's very easy to make it at home from scratch! Felu fit by cooking has a nice video on it!
Oat milk is definitely the nicest tasking non- dairy milk in my opinion. I can drink it by itself, where as with soy, for example, i struggle to
@@geaninastoica9834 I couldn't find the oatmilk video, I only found oatmeal videos in that channel
@@LJNorthey in my opinion soymilk taste best by itself and taste weird when I mix it with drinks like coffee for example, it's also much more available and cheaper since in my country it's traditionally made (we also used soy for food like tempeh and tofu).
Just got back from my Japan trip. Locally they use dairy milk for matcha lattes, most cafes I went to didn't even have the plant based milk options. I also took a few matcha classes there, traditionally there wouldn't be any milk involved. But ofcourse they said dairy milk is what they use if someone requested to blend it.
Do you know if it’s true that we should avoid using metal scoops/spoons when using matcha? Did you use bamboo for everything during your classes?
I haven't had matcha class in Japan. But I buy my matcha and the tools directly from Kyoto, and it comes with instructions on how to make matcha. I use matcha strainer, handmade matcha spoon and whisk made of bamboo to prepare my matcha. The matcha spoon will measure the correct amount compared to a metal spoon, and it will also avoid the metallic taste from the spoon.
@@qendresanura9746 That's actually a great point. Indeed stainless steel is a big No for matcha, since it oxidises the matcha. However, since the duration of contact using a metal spoon is not that much, you can use it if you don't have the bamboo spoon available. But the bowl of mixing shouldn't be steel and the whisk should be bamboo.
Yes, in classes we use chashaku, the bamboo spoon with a slight bend at the end.
@@shwetapuppala3580 thanks for the response! Another question, did they say anything about sifting your matcha powder in the classes? I’ve been conflicted on sifting it into my cup because I want to avoid the metal oxidising the matcha but then I see everyone recommending sifting it!
@@jennykim01 Absolutely correct! One spoon of Chashaku is about 2ml of matcha whereas 1 teaspoon is 5 ml of matcha. So it will never be the right measurement if we use a teaspoon. Another thing I noticed was they never used a strainer ever. My classes were in Kyoto as well :) Uji, which is the hometown of matcha is in Kyoto.
Coconut milk is my favorite with matcha. Second is oatmilk. And possibly macadamia milk next. I love macadamia with my coffee.
yesss. Coconut milk for the win!
Ooo I've never tried macadamia milk! That sounds decadent
I swear, am I the only one who thinks coconut milk has the same consistency and mouth feel as dairy milk? Only it tastes like coconut obviously. 😅
@@usernameisunavailable8270 yea, they have a super similar consistency
good to know thank you 😊
I’m a soy and matcha drinker, I find the earthy flavours from the soy go so will with the fresh green taste of matcha
yesss! ❤
you know what's up
I forgot that soy milk can be so good. rich and subtly botanical. I need to try it with matcha, sounds like an amazing pairing
Agreed. I add a hint of cinnamon and good to go for if it be giving and working or working out
100% agree! i switched mainly for the low calorie high protein aspect of unsweetened soy milk but after the 2nd cup with matcha it grew on me and now prefer it over dairy milk for my matcha lattes. i save the dairy milk for when im in a chocolate milk mood lol
Dairy or non, I feel like mixing it with hot water first helps the flavor bloom. Milk will always mellow out the flavor so giving it a chance to develop with hot water I feel like leaves you with a better final product. For milks I like dairy or oat milk. 😋
Yeah mixing it straight into the milk seems nuts
Mixing straight into milk is fine if you use enough; mixing into a small amount of water basically turns it into a concentrate.
It just depends on the result you're after!
th-cam.com/video/UcN7SGGoCNI/w-d-xo.html
I love raw milk I get from the farm
Yes without wisking it it tastes like nothing. The wisking is a necessary step not only for the health benefits but for the flavor
Glad I've always been of the opinion that coconut milk is THE BEST milk for matcha!
The best!!
that's odd... based on recently published studies available on the internet casein and polyphenol interaction enhance antioxidant activity
☝🏾 and that’s that on that
I also commented this but for some reason it disappeared lol - but totally agree! drink whatever milk tastes better
@@ianc.8288 also, naturally fat rich milks like dairy enhance the taste of matcha via blocking the bitter taste receptors so...
th-cam.com/video/UcN7SGGoCNI/w-d-xo.html
Where is the link to the studies?
I read that using dairy milk can help the caffeine diffuse more slowly and evenly bc dairy milk has much more amino acids than plant milk
Amino acids are protein- drinking a plant milk that naturally has protein, like soy, or one that has it added after the fact, would presumably accomplish the same thing. Or just, like, have a snack with your matcha, some nuts or something
It could also result in greater GI tract healing benefits because the polyphenols are staying there longer vs rapidly absorbed into blood....like zinc bound to protein. Don't know for sure but possible
@@sockpuppetqueenplant protein bioavailability is less and soy is estrogenic
@@frehesh.4386phytoestrogen is not the same as estrogen. What you said is false.
Matcha caffeine half life is over the span of 8 hours. You want it even slower than that?
Coconut milk has definitely become my favorite I think that coconut flavor just pairs perfectly with the matcha
What brand do you use?
The emulsifiers and thickeners in plant based milk also block absorption.
THANK YOU.
As well as contribute to a whole host of other issues.
Like, almond milk having the highest amount of oxalates, the main cause of kidney stones - which, takes place when One doesn’t consume enough calcium.
What about the fact that there’s a strong correlation between cow milk consumption and breast and prostate cancer?
I nearly read that as "abortion"...
@@MacFlytrap Oh, and specifically about breast and prostate cancer, that same page says:
Research has not proven whether dairy or calcium has a direct effect on prostate cancer risk. There are some studies that have found an increased risk in people who have large amounts of dairy. But there’s not enough good evidence for this.
It’s hard to measure how much dairy people eat over a long period of time. And there could be other factors that are different in people who eat and drink a lot of dairy. It is unclear whether it’s dairy increasing the risk of prostate cancer in current studies.
We need better designed studies to find out more about the potential link
And
There is no good, consistent evidence that milk and dairy products can cause breast cancer.
Some studies have found that dairy might increase the risk of breast cancer. Whilst others have found it may decrease breast cancer risk. We need more high-quality studies to understand whether there is a link.

i use coconut milk... it's so good!
I use macadamia milk in my matcha lattes and it’s so freaking yummy. 😋
Oh that sounds yummy. Unfortunately I don’t really see it around in stores. Where do you get yours?
@@runway5338probably whole foods or trader Joe's
@@runway5338 i love macadamia milk but its so expensive so usually i just add monin macadamia syrup to oat milk
@@runway5338 I live in Canada and I get it at my local grocery store. Try checking the “health food” section, sometimes they stock it there.
I really wanna try macadamia milk. Healthiest nut option besides walnuts.
It binds with caseine, which is then degraded by enzymes in your gut releasing the polyphenol. Mixing with dairy will not impact the bioavailability of antioxidants, and might even improve their effects by allowing them to release into your body more gradually.
@@fag.destroyer casein is a typical milk protein that our bodies have no problem fully degrading into smaller peptides and amino acids. Your body does not absorb casein protein whole, it must be broken down to be used as a resource by the body.
If the casein binds to polyphenols, and then the casein no longer exists, you only need your intuition to understand what would then happen to the previously bound polyphenol. I didn’t use a source for this; if I searched for data what I’d really be looking for is some recognized evidence that milk reduces use effect of antioxidant polyphenols because that sounds like something someone made up.
While I admit that I’m just going with my “gut” here, I do have a degree in biochemistry. However I don’t claim to have specific knowledge about this one reaction/bodily process.
YAYYYYY THANK YOU I can continue to drink it with my lactaid milk . I just can’t do oatmilk or plant based they add rapeseed oil and fillers and makes my
Gut hurt .
@@jenniferibarra7737I've been drinking matcha with oatmilk for a while and I have had really bad bloating and gastrointestinal problems at night keeping me up. Today I didn't have time for my daily matcha and I'm having no problems. I'm now wondering if it's the oatmilk causing this. I'm considering switching to regular milk or coconut milk now. It sucks cause I love the taste of oatmilk and matcha
I recently tried cashew milk with my matcha and it was surprisingly good. Creamy like oat milk low calorie like almond milk
Interesting! Speaking of calories on the other end of the spectrum, I've noticed that a full fat oat milk matcha latte not only tastes amazing, but keeps me full for an astonishingly long time.
@@CT1010101 oat milk is super bad for you thats probably why lol
@@kelsey2333 I disagree. I find it much healthier than dairy milk. It makes me feel full, it tastes good, and it doesn't make my body feel bad. It doesn't upset my stomach like cow or almond milk and doesn't increase estrogen like soy milk may. I know nutrition is a place where people become rude and zealot like for some reason, as if we have the right to dictate the food another person consumes. I gave my perspective and my experience. I get that you don't find the ingredients healthy. :)
@@kelsey2333 Yeah, it's got a high glycemic load. Pretty bad for you in large quantities, especially if you're consuming it regularly. And it's horrendous for diabetics/anyone who struggles with high blood sugar. It would be better for you than cow milk if you were lactose intolerant, I guess, but that's not saying much lol. Either way, it's not the best choice of milk replacer for the average person if they're looking to eat healthier.
Do you have a source for this info? I haven't done a deep dive on it personally but a cursory glance shows studies about using milk protein to make polyphenols more bioavailable, like others in the comments mentioned.
Even if casein does bind polyphenols, wouldnt it be released again when you digest the casein? And how could dissolving it in water before adding milk prevent it from binding with the casein, which it will have plenty of opportunity to interact with once you add the milk?
exactly
Yeah, if anything the plants have anti-nutrients that block bioavailability of nutrients we need.
No because it’s made up
I do have to agree with you. I’ve been going crazy cause I Love milk form the farm and I love my matcha . I don’t know what to do..
@@Ida-Adrianagood point
I’ve seen how they prepare matcha drinks at this boba shop nearby. They do whisk with water, then milk
For some reason dairy milk makes my matcha taste super creamy compared to oat milk. (I whisk with hot water before pouring it into milk)
I LOVE cow milk, I get the lactaid free because I’m lactose intolerant, so good!
me too!
th-cam.com/video/UcN7SGGoCNI/w-d-xo.html
Also straight up matcha tea with just hot water is bommbbbb, you can add a splash of milk to sweeten a bit but it’s so good as is
Chemist here. The casein breaks down polyphenols which your body may struggle to to to incorporate it into the gut. It's also likely to pull free-radicals from your gut to reduce the variability of dietary effects on polyphenol absorption.
This is how always mix mine because the hot water really smooths out that matcha powder
Rice milk or lactose free milk are my go to's here in Mexico! A lot of places locally have horchata matcha drinks and it's so uniquely tasty!
Rice milk ❤
Lactose milk still has the casein in it
seeing as the only antioxidant, in the true sense of the word, we can use is cholesterol, which we can get from good animal fats...mixing with regular whole milk or heavy cream is the best option to make sure the chemicals and toxins from the green tea dont cause too many problems.
Exactly 👍🏿
I use lactose free milk I like it a lot
My favorite and go to plant milk is coconut with oat milk! Creamy, taste and goes well with basically anything! And they're homemade always. The one I like from box is the soy one
I love to drink my matcha with vanilla oat milk😋you don’t have to add any sweetener to it then
same!!!
You dont have to add sweetener to it normally either
I love using oat milk for my matcha lattes and milk teas 💚
I’m glad there’s a scientific reason as to why my matcha tastes so different when I use dairy milk vs almond. With dairy it’s not as strong and just tastes weird. But with almond milk it’s so amazing
isnt it just about mixing beforehand? thats what i got from the video. matcha to me tastes the same with dairy milk and non dairy but i have always mixed it with water beforehand
@@evelinaz1548 i can tell the difference and i always mix with water prior. imo non dairy milk makes far superior matcha than dairy milk
@@ytl7750 hey I'm glad for you thenA
@@ytl7750 !*
Almonds are high in plant toxins and oxlates that are pretty much the culprit to all auto immune
Thank you for this clip. I needed this. I skip the adding with water bc I thought the mild was just fine. And yes I do see a lot of the time the matcha clumps up. & I am thinking what am I doing wrong here!?? A lot of videos don’t explain why I need the water so I didn’t use it but this video breaks it down to better understand!!! Thank you so much! I didn’t want to give up on making my own matcha!
I would love to use plant milks but I can't find any without a gazillion chemical additives and thickeners. But I usually whisk with water so I'm sure it's better than otherwise. Milk is so good with matcha too!
Plant milks are really easy to make at home if you have a blender. For oat milk just blend one part oats to about three parts water and strain it! 😊 That way you can also add whatever flavourings you want, like salt, maple syrup, etc., or nothing at all.
Take a look at MALK Organics -- malkorganics.com/our-commitment/
Unfortunately plant based milks are really not a healthy alternative to milk. Especially if you can tolerate dairy or A2 dairy. If you’re making plant based milks at home you’re avoiding the nasty additives they put into those milks, but your also missing out on all the vitamins they fortify those milks with to make them healthy like calcium, iodine, b-vitamins, vitamin A, phosphorus, and zinc. So you’re left with something low in nutrition and protein and extremely high in oxalates. Oat milk in particular has 4g of oxalates per cup!! Oxalates bind to minerals like calcium and prevent the body from absorbing beneficial nutrients! Oxalates can even cause kidney stones. I would stick to regular milk if you can it’s loaded with vitamins and protein.
@@roselove2983 I don’t think this is understood well enough at all. My friend swapped over to oat milk, and I don’t believe it’s been mentioned here but it’s the cause of her EXTREME gastrointestinal issues right now. Something to do with how it’s broken down in the stomach and into the intestines. Just gotta be careful with some of these alternatives, that’s all.
The "chemical additives" are not harmful to you. Most of them are nutrients added to fortify it.
😍 great tip, thank you!
I love soy and oat mills with matcha they’re so good. The soy milk gives it this hint of sweetness that I love.
i enjoy my matcha with almond milk
There’s also something called A2 milk which is dairy milk that removes some casein :D
Omg thank you for the tips!!!!
Oat milk is fantastic, definitely my favorite dairy alternative
Gorgeous video, thank you for sharing!
That is super brief and helpful I loved it. Thank you!
She made up the thing about decreased bioavailability though 🙄😒. Don’t believe any “science” claim people make without multiple linked studies. Anyone can say anything.
Casein binding to polyphenols...um...where is the research on that?
I looked it up and I found one article from 2013 that said that... but in the same article they also said that the bioavailability of the polyphenols actually increased when they used a different method to test.
And I read two more articles from 2021, one that investigated milk casein and whey, and one that investigated those two plus a few more, and both of them claimed that milk proteins increase the bioavailability of polyphenols.
Idk if this girl is purposefully spreading misinformation or not, but it's still misinformation nonetheless.
I love the glass you used for the matcha 😤
Thanks!
I only like using Coconut milk and Dairy milk! Oat milk and Almond milk doesn’t taste good where I live because there isn’t very many options 😂
Thank you that’s helpful ❤
...or just switch to A2A2 Milk which also has very minimal casein.
Love the cup, whered you get it?
Second
Excellent! More people need to know this
Thanks this is so simple. I’ve never seen it done before. I’ve made matcha latte but did it in a blender 😂
Thank you for this info💗💗🙌🏼
thank you!
I just watched a lady do this just last night! I never knew this tip, but it’s all good I’m a vegan so I’m dairy free. 🌰🥛
I use Vanilla Almond Milk 🙏 And I use honey as my sweetener. And Ippodo brand of Matcha. It kinda expensive matcha though but it’s worth it tbh. It taste way better than cheaper matcha and the color is super super green, not to mention the powder is really smooth and the taste was phenomenal. The cheap matcha got a doodoo green color and taste like nothing 😅😂
Soy and matcha is a match made in heaven
I love oatmilk it has the best texture and flavor and is so creamy
Very helpful to know! Thank you for sharing
Coconut is the best with matcha 😋
While its true the casein in dairy milk can bind to the polyphenols and theoretically reduce antioxidant absorption, I think it's a bit misleading to say that the average consumer is "missing out on health benefits" by using dairy milk. The primary health benefits tea drinkers recieve from drinking matcha aren't going to be due to antioxidants in the tea (although it probably helps due to the significant amount), but because drinking tea probably displaces the drinking of other less healthy beverages in someone's diet. If someone is super calorie or health conscious, then yea they can omit milk since milk will add some calories or "block" these antioxidants but I would be super worried if they were obsessed about the 100 or so calories adding a cup of milk would add or the antioxidants they would lose out on
Based on my skimming of a couple of articles, it also seems that a lot of literature hasn't been able to agree if combining dairy milk with antioxidant rich foods (so tea but including other food/drinks) does limit absorption.
I do understand this is a 10 second video, so there's not a whole lot of time to include every single detail, such as the inconclusive opinion about dairy milk and antioxidants. I do like your content, but felt the need to let you know since bioavailability was one of the main points of the video. I'm a biology major and scientific communication is one of my passions so this got kinda long sorry haha
I used to have nothing but soy but the hormones messed me up. started having breast pain and wild moods and behaviors.
Soy messed up estrogen levels
I use whole milk because I don’t have any issues with dairy. It helped my vitamin D deficiency too 😏
I’m sure the cows that are being exploited and having they’re babies ripped away from them have an issue with it and the boy calves who are killed because they’re not profitable. Additionally milk is fortified with vitamin d and in some places it’s the law to fortify vitamin d into it. So just supplement it yourself 🤷♀️
❤
Wow, thank you so much. I just received my first container of Matcha powder and I want all the good benefits from it 💫
I can’t even fathom not whisking it just for the mix alone!! I only drink oat milk and the texture was completely off when I wasn’t thorough with mixing it
I use lactaid milk as I am lactose intolerant mind you it tastes AMAZING
I grew up drinking normal cows milk for my he store and ive recently started drinking almond and oat milks and I gotta say they taste way better than what you think!
I tried it with rice coconut milk and its SO GOOD
Yup, I whisk with a bit of hot water ( not boiling) to turn the matcha powder into a paste. Then it goes into my dairy milk. Tastes fabulous.
Oat milk and coconut are my favorites 🤤
I don’t have any dairy sensitivity but I LOVE an oat milk matcha latte 😍 You can definitely enjoy plant-based milk even if you’re able to drink dairy.
oat milk isn't dairy?
@@3to4characters No haha.
Do you add anything besides oat milk, water and matcha?
@@Daniel-pb4zs I have added vanilla before, or other flavoring like raspberry or blueberry. I do enjoy it with just those three ingredients though. That’s with sweetened matcha powder btw. I don’t enjoy it so much when there’s no sugar in it 😅
can never go wrong with coconut milk 😋
Love your explanation!!! More food science pls 💚
I love it with Almond Milk. The result is so creamy. Makes me dreamy 😊
love learning the science!!
I've been whisking with a bit of oat milk then adding water to fill it up. GAME CHANGER! Tastes so much lighter and sweet with 1 part milk and 3 parts water :)
Thank you for this advice, 👀 I was using dairy milk😨 with it , just got oat milk for smoothies and it will be going into my matcha as well . 😙😘💖🌻🌼
hazelnut and soy are my favourites 🤗
Great video! With mixing matcha with milk there’s been mixed reviews. We actually wrote a short blog post on this topic. 🍵☺️
plant based milk will never come close to the rich creaminess of milk. only coconut milk could come close
Cashew milk comes pretty close
@@Amor09876 hmm
We are vegan for animals
I love oat milk. Especially the barista oat milk which has a little bit of fat which creates a nice foam!
Note - if you mix it with water and then milk after, look up how to make koicha. Its a thick style of matcha that uses way less water, and your latte will be less watered down.
i like almond bc of the nutty flavor it adds
Me too! So yum
I actually always preferred oat milk in my matcha! Plus I personally like the taste so much better!!😍😍
Cashew milk with matcha is the best combo underrated for sure
This is so helpful! I have no clue!💜💜💜
It’s also better to pour the matcha after the milk or it’ll stick to the ice cubes.
do NOT use skimmed milk on matcha lol I learned it the hard way
What's wrong with skimmed milk on matcha?? Does it split or something?
Starbucks has Pure Matcha Soy latte, and it’s one of my faves!
Going to remember to try that one out!
Starbucks uses low-grade matcha, not worth the price.
the green drink plus the curvy cup reminds me of the kelp juice from sponge Bob
I add 1 tsp of ceremonial grade matcha to a bowl, add a little water, whisk with a matcha whisk to make a watery paste, then I pour silk organic unsweetened soy milk over ice, add a little vanilla bean paste and honey, then the matcha. Delicious and so creamy
i've been making matcha wrong for so long now, i also use cow's milk
Plant milk is not milk.. Please
I would opt for oat, the toasty note of oat milk married perfectly with the aromatic matcha
Thorough dispersion only aids in molecular interaction, I would think that step would only increase interactions if anything
What matcha brand do you use?
Great tips! Love it with soy or oat, iced or hot 😋 and love your green matcha bowl! Where is it from? 😍 Don’t remember if you mentioned it in your ceramics video
Banana milk is also rlly good
do you mix it first with hot boiled water or does the water not need to be hot?
Okay cool but where did you get that cupppppp
Oat milk has more protein content than other dairy alternatives, which makes it easier and better to froth. Which is great but also sad bc oat milk will almost always be out of stock at the coffee shops since its more popular now. 😩
But yeah fun fact its more common than other alternatives at coffee places bc it works better when u froth it 👌🏻
I usually drink vanilla almond milk but is it the same concept as with lactose free milk?
Coconut milk is the best with matcha, imo. It gets foamy and is super creamy. Soy and almond are decent second places.
Raw milk with some cream
