Instructions

  2. Prepare the Matcha:

    • In a small bowl, sift matcha powder to remove clumps.
    • Add hot water and whisk using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a milk frother until smooth and frothy.

  3. Steam the Milk:

    • Heat milk in a saucepan or steam using a frother until warm and foamy.

  4. Assemble the Latte:

    • Pour the steamed milk over the matcha, stirring gently.

  5. Serve & Enjoy:

    • Top with extra froth and a sprinkle of dried lavender if desired.

Notes

  • For an iced version, pour the matcha and milk over ice.
  • For extra froth, use a handheld milk frother before serving.
  • For a stronger lavender flavor, let the syrup steep longer before straining.
