Matcha Green Tea Latte

Hi Everyone, who doesn't love a beautiful, delicious, hot (of cold, if you prefer!) beverage to start their day?

This Matcha Green Tea Latte ticks off all those boxes.

It's such a treat to look at with its ombré green tones and just as delicious and special to sip!

This Matcha Green Tea Latte does not contain any coffee or espresso but you can optionally add 1 shot of espresso to it if you want!

Look at that pretty sage-green color!

This drink is as pretty as is delicious!

What Diet Lifestyles Does this Matcha Green Tea Latte Adhere to?

This Matcha Green Tea Latte can be made to be refined-sugar-free, low carb, Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free (if you use non-dairy milk, such as soy milk, cashew milk, coconut milk oat milk, etc.).

What Can I Sweeten this Matcha Green Tea Latte With?

I call for granulated white sugar (organic, if possible) but you can use honey (refined sugar-free option), agave syrup (vegan option), or even maple syrup (vegan option).

Each type of sweetener will lend a different flavor to the final drink.

What sweetener would you choose and why?

Kitchen Tools

What Does Matcha Tea Taste Like?

It's slightly bitter, (you can always add a sweetener if you want), it's very fresh, it's also slightly vegetal in flavor.

To Enjoy Matcha Green Tea Latte Hot:
