Hey there coffee/tea/cocoa loving friends! Today is THURSDAY and I'm celebrating 1000+ link-ups in the Spring Coffee Lovers Hop! WOOP WOOP! Nothing says celebrate more to me than a tasty homemade Matcha Latte. I decided to share my process in making one of my most favorite concoctions! I'm also sharing a little doodled Matcha container that you can grab to create your own Matcha card/tag or project. Have you ever seen any Matcha related stamps??? I haven't, so I just HAD to create one for myself.
Here's the process I go through to make the most delish homemade Matcha Latte:
Add three heaping spoons (the little Matcha spoon) of GOOD QUALITY matcha powder to a glass. Warm some almond milk (I use sweetened Silk) and pour a little bit in the cup. Lukewarm is a good temp. Matcha tastes bitter with hot liquid.
Allow the Matcha time to soak up some of the milk by letting it sit a minute. Stir this slurry up to remove any lumps. I do not use a sieve to remove lumps. Pour the remaining almond milk into the cup.
I use a bamboo Matcha whisk or a battery operated whisk to stir the Matcha in the cup. The battery whisk tends to give more foam/creamy foam than the bamboo whisk (and takes less effort).
After the Matcha/almond milk is stirred, taste to determine proper sweetness. If it is not sweet enough, I add one packet of Monkfruit sweetener.
Add some cream and sprinkle a bit of Matcha powder on top. Enjoy!
I created this card (I copy/pasted the matcha container onto a Microsoft Word document and cut it out to create the perfect background.
The final touch was adding a doodled Matcha sentiment onto Kraft cardstock, then stamping the "Sending you" and "Love" sentiments from the Butterfly Kisses stamp set from Joy Clair. They were the perfect parts to create a perfect punny sentiment!
Mighty Tasty 'eh? Hope you enjoyed this post today! Off to hopping you go! LOL.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow!!! Blown away by your fun sketch, the beverage AND the card! I've never tried Match a. Can you recommend some good, quality brands?
ReplyDeleteCeremonial grade is the best. It's the greenest, has been shaded the prime time and is most tasty! :)
DeleteThe one in the picture is my favorite. It's absolutely delish but doesn't last long. I get it at Wegman's. Don't buy cheap stuff...It tastes like seaweed (unless you like seaweed tea)!
ReplyDeleteHow super creative! Thanks for sharing this with us all.
