Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Syrup:
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Matcha Mixture:
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Latte:
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- Ice cubes if serving cold
Instructions
- Prepare Blueberry Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the blueberries with honey until they burst and release their juices, about 3-5 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the skins, pressing to extract as much juice as possible.
- Make Matcha Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with hot water until smooth and frothy.
- Heat Milk: Heat the milk in a separate saucepan or froth it using a milk frother.
- Assemble Latte: Pour the blueberry syrup into a mug or glass, add the matcha mixture, then top with warm milk for a hot latte or pour over ice for an iced version. Stir gently to swirl the layers together and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more honey or syrup if needed.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract.
