1 serving = 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 2 g Matcha
  • 30-50 ml Water
  • 200 ml Oat Milk
  • 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp Maple Syrup, Honey or similar

Method

  1. Sift the matcha powder, if necessary, into a bowl and add a splash of cold water. Stir thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved and a smooth, lump-free paste forms.
  2. Pour the hot, but not boiling water (70–80 °C) over the paste and whisk the mixture with quick, W-shaped movements until a frothy matcha forms.
  3. Heat the milk in a small pot over medium heat and stir in the cocoa powder until fully dissolved. Warm the mixture without bringing it to a boil, and froth lightly if desired.
  4. Pour the hot chocolate milk into a cup and add the whisked matcha. Stir gently and add maple syrup, honey, or another sweetener to taste.
  5. Enjoy the hot matcha chocolate.
Good to know

Suitable Matcha: For a hot Matcha chocolate, the Organic Basic Matcha is ideal, but the Organic Classic Matcha also goes well with it.

White Chocolate: For a sweeter version, you can replace the cocoa powder with white chocolate. Simply warm the milk and melt small pieces of white chocolate while stirring.

Lighter Latte: For a less intense and lighter Matcha latte, you can replace part of the oat milk with water in the last step.

Creamy Taste: Oat milk brings a natural sweetness and makes the hot Matcha chocolate especially creamy. Alternatives like almond or soy milk can also be used and complement the flavor in their own way.
