Matcha Green Tea Latte





A touch of honey balances the bitterness of matcha in this healthy latte recipe. For a nondairy latte, swap unsweetened almond, soy or coconut milk for the low-fat milk.


INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon matcha tea powder
1 cup low-fat milk
1 teaspoon honey


PREPARATION

Blend boiling water with matcha powder in a blender until foamy. Heat milk with honey until almost boiling. Vigorously whisk the milk until frothy. Pour the milk into a mug, then pour in the tea.
