Creamy White Chocolate Matcha Latte
yields: 2 lattes
White chocolate was made for matcha! It adds a buttery sweet swirl throughout this matcha latte, wiping out the need for more sweetener. You'll only need 4 ingredients to make and it's absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups nonfat milk, divided
- 2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 2 teaspoons high-quality matcha powder
- ¼ cup hot water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat 1¾ cups of the milk in a small saucepan over medium high heat, stirring, until nearly boiling.*
- Reduce heat to low and add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Measure 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into each cup.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of hot water over the matcha powder in each cup. Use a bamboo whisk to stir until smooth and lightly frothy.
- Divide the steamed milk between the two cups, and stir to combine.
- Meanwhile, heat and froth the remaining ½ cup of milk in a milk steamer/frother.
- Spoon the frothed milk over the top of each cup of tea and finish with a dusting of matcha powder.
Notes
*If you do not have a milk frother that also heats the milk, steam 2 cups of the milk on the first step and use your handheld frother on the remaining ¼ cup of milk. If you have neither a milk steamer/frother nor a handheld frother, you can froth the remaining milk by heating it over medium heat on the stove and whisking vigorously with a wire whisk until it foams.
