Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- milk frother
- bamboo matcha whisk
- tea sifter
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp pumpkin butter
- 3 grams ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- ice cubes
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Start by lining the interior of your serving glass with 1 tbsp of pumpkin butter.
- Next sift your matcha powder through a tea sifter into a small bowl to whisk. Add 1/4 cup of hot water (roughly 175F) and using a bamboo whisk, make a back and forth "M" shaped movement vigorously until no clumps remain and you have a nice, smooth surface layer of froth.
- In a small glass, froth or whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp of pumpkin butter with the milk. You can adjust to taste by adding more or less pumpkin butter.
- To serve, add a generous amount of ice to the glass, pour in the pumpkin butter milk and pour the prepared matcha on top to finish.
- Garnish with an optional dusting of freshly grated cinnamon stick. Stir and enjoy.
Notes
- Use quality matcha! Using ceremonial grade matcha ensures a smoother, more vibrant flavour.
- If you like a stronger fall pumpkin flavor you can add more pumpkin butter until it reaches your desired flavor.
- This latte can be enjoyed hot or cold. For a warm version, skip the ice and heat the milk mixture before combining with the matcha.
