Matcha Oat Milk Latte (Printable Version)

Bright, creamy matcha blended with steamed oat milk for a naturally green, dairy-free latte.

# What You'll Need:

→ Latte base

01 - 1 teaspoon culinary-grade matcha powder
02 - 2 teaspoons hot water, just below boiling

→ Milk

03 - 1 cup barista-style oat milk

→ Sweetener (optional)

04 - 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave syrup

→ Garnish (optional)

05 - A light dusting of matcha powder

# How To Make It:

01 - Sift matcha into a small bowl to remove clumps, creating a fine powder for an even suspension.
02 - Add the hot water and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk or electric frother until the mixture is completely dissolved and a green, creamy froth forms.
03 - Warm the oat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, or froth cold oat milk with a milk frother for a chilled version.
04 - If desired, stir the maple or agave syrup into the steaming oat milk until fully incorporated.
05 - Pour the prepared matcha into a warmed mug, then slowly add the steamed or frothed oat milk while holding back the foam with a spoon; finish by spooning the foam on top.
06 - Finish with a light dusting of matcha powder for presentation and serve immediately.
07 - For an iced version, combine the prepared matcha with ice and top with cold frothed oat milk; adjust sweetness to taste.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like caffeinated springtime in a mug—gentle, bright, and energizing without the coffee shakes.
  • Customizing the sweetness lets you steer the vibe from earthier to dessert in seconds, which is a satisfying kind of power.
02 -
  • No matter how tempting, never hit a rolling boil with the oat milk or the texture will turn grainy and sad.
  • I discovered the magic of a zigzag, side-to-side whisk rather than circles—froth forms much quicker and the powder dissolves cleanly every time.
03 -
  • If time allows, pre-warm your mug with hot water so your latte stays hot longer and the matcha aroma hovers beautifully.
  • The tiniest pinch of flaky salt stirred into the oat milk boosts the sweetness and brings out the creamy flavor like magic.
