How to Make the Perfect Matcha Latte: A Step-by-Step Recipe

Matcha lattes are not just a trendy drink; they’re a delicious and health-boosting alternative to your regular coffee. Packed with antioxidants, natural energy, and a calming effect, matcha has become a favourite for wellness enthusiasts worldwide. Whether you’re a seasoned matcha lover or a beginner, this guide will show you how to make the perfect matcha latte at home.

Our mushroom matcha has been fortified with additional beneficial adaptogens and superfoods such as ashwagandha, lion’s mane mushroom powder and moringa. This is the ultimate matcha with benefits.

Why Choose Matcha rather than your traditional tea / coffee?

Matcha is made from finely ground green tea leaves, offering a concentrated source of nutrients and antioxidants. It’s known for:

• Boosting energy levels without the jitters of coffee.
• Supporting focus and calmness due to its natural L-theanine content.
• Aiding metabolism and overall wellness.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make a creamy and delicious matcha latte, gather the following:

• 1 teaspoon Better Food Mood Mushroom Matcha powder
• 1/4 cup hot water (not boiling, around 80°C or 176°F)
• 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
• 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or your preferred option)

Step-by-Step Matcha Latte Recipe

Step 1: Add the Mushroom Matcha Latte Powder to your bowl

• Add 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of Better Food Mood Mushroom Matcha powder into a bowl or mug.
• If you were using only matcha, you could sift the matcha powder to remove clumps. However, as our mushroom matcha latte powder mix has other added herbs and mushrooms, we would not advise sifting it.

Step 2: Add Hot Water

• Pour 1/4 cup of hot water (around 80°C or 176°F) over the mushroom matcha powder.
• Whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a hand held milk frother until the matcha is dissolved and frothy.

Step 3: Heat the Milk and sweeten

• Warm 3/4 cup of milk in a saucepan or microwave. Avoid boiling to preserve the milk’s flavor and texture.
• Add honey or any other sweetener. Our mushroom matcha latte mix has a spinach like taste because of the matcha and is also bitter earthy because of the lion’s mane mushroom powder and ashwagandha / moringa powders. A sweetener will improve its taste.
• Froth the milk using a frother, whisk, or by shaking it in a jar with a lid.

Step 4: Combine and Sweeten

• Pour the frothy milk into a cup and add your whisked mushroom matcha.
• Whisk again if desired to increase the foamy texture.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

• Sprinkle a pinch of matcha powder on top for a professional touch.
• Serve immediately and savour the beneficial earthy flavours.
• This makes for a wonderful healthier alternative to coffee.
