Scale
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana (preferably overripe for maximum sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy of choice)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (high-quality culinary or latte-grade)
- 2-3 tablespoons hot water (to dissolve matcha powder)
- Sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the banana base: Peel the ripe banana and place it into a blender. Add your chosen milk and blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Dissolve the matcha: In a small cup, measure out 1 teaspoon of matcha powder. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of hot water and whisk thoroughly until the matcha is completely dissolved and no clumps remain, forming a smooth green liquid.
- Combine latte components: Slowly pour the blended banana milk into the cup containing the dissolved matcha, stirring gently to combine the flavors evenly.
- Serve hot or cold: Choose whether to enjoy your latte warm or chilled. For a cold latte, you can add ice cubes as desired. Serve immediately to savor the fresh, vibrant flavors.
- Enjoy your latte: Take a moment to appreciate the aroma before sipping your creamy, delicious Banana Matcha Latte for a refreshing boost.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for extra natural sweetness and a creamier texture.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder green tea flavor.
- Sweetener is optional; try honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup if you need extra sweetness.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Prepare the matcha with hot (not boiling) water to preserve its delicate flavor and nutrients.
