Banana Matcha Latte Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana (preferably overripe for maximum sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 cup milk (any dairy or non-dairy milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (preferably culinary or latte-grade)
- 2-3 tablespoons hot water (to dissolve the matcha powder)
- Sweetener (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the banana base: Peel one ripe banana and place it into a blender. Add 1 cup of your chosen milk and blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Dissolve the matcha: In a small cup, combine 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with 2-3 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved and no clumps remain, forming a smooth matcha paste.
- Combine banana milk and matcha: Gradually pour the blended banana milk into the cup with the whisked matcha. Stir gently to blend both mixtures evenly.
- Choose serving temperature: Decide whether you want your latte served hot by warming it gently, or cold by adding ice, then serve accordingly.
- Enjoy your latte: Take a moment to savor the enticing aroma before sipping your creamy, refreshing Banana Matcha Latte.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for a naturally sweeter and creamier latte without the need for added sugar.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder to your taste preference—start with 1 teaspoon and increase if you like a stronger flavor.
- Sweetener is optional; honey, maple syrup, or agave work well if added.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- To serve cold, add ice cubes after mixing the latte.
- Matcha powder should be sifted before whisking to avoid clumps.
