Notes

To make this drink hot – Add hot milk to the latte at the same step

Milk – feel free to use any milk you like. I prefer oat milk or skim milk.

Matcha – if you missed it in the post– you don’t have to use ceremonial grade matcha. Culinary grade is ok to use in a matcha latte, but has a more bitter taste and not as vibrant of a color. But it still makes a decent latte!
