A creamy and comforting matcha latte with melted white chocolate, perfect for cozy mornings or a special treat. This latte balances the earthy matcha flavor with the rich sweetness of white chocolate for a smooth, soothing drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1½ teaspoons matcha powder, preferably ceremonial grade
  • 2 ounces (about 56 grams) white chocolate, chopped or in chips
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) hot water, just under boiling
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener (optional: honey, maple syrup, or sugar)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 to 1½ teaspoons of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water just below boiling (about 175°F/80°C). Pour over the matcha and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until frothy and bright green, about 30 seconds.
  3. Gently melt 2 ounces (56 grams) of chopped white chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, or microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring in between.
  4. Warm 1 cup (240 ml) of milk in the saucepan or microwave until steaming but not boiling (around 150°F/65°C).
  5. Pour the melted white chocolate into the warm milk and whisk until fully blended and smooth.
  6. Slowly pour the whisked matcha into the milk and white chocolate mixture, stirring gently to combine. Add sweetener and vanilla extract if using, and mix well.
  7. Pour the latte into a mug and optionally top with a light dusting of matcha powder or white chocolate shavings.

Notes

Sift matcha powder to avoid clumps. Use low heat to melt white chocolate to prevent burning. Warm milk gently to avoid curdling, especially with plant-based milks. Adjust sweetness and matcha strength to taste. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and vegan white chocolate chips.
