Hazelnut Milk Matcha Latte Recipe: A Creamy, Antioxidant-Rich Drink

The Spelt Milk Matcha Latte pairs the vibrant taste of matcha with the naturally sweet, fibre-rich smoothness of spelt milk. Creamy and subtly nutty, it’s a comforting break that feels both gently energising and soothing.

Prep & Cooking Time

• Total time: 5 minutes

Makes: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 1 tsp organic ceremonial matcha
• 60 ml hot water (around 70°C)
• 200 ml spelt milk
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
• 1 pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1. Prepare the matcha

   Add the matcha to a bowl or mug. Pour in the hot water and whisk with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a milk frother until smooth, with a fine foam on top.

2. 2. Warm and froth the milk

   Gently warm the spelt milk without bringing it to a boil. Froth lightly for a creamy texture.

3. 3. Assemble the latte

   Slowly pour the warm milk over the foamy matcha, keeping the foam on the surface. Stir gently.

4. 4. Finish

   If you like, add maple syrup or honey, then dust with a pinch of cinnamon for a cosy, barista-style touch.

Nutritional benefits

Matcha is rich in antioxidants and L-theanine, supporting focus and calm. Spelt milk brings fibre, minerals, and complex carbs for steady, longer-lasting energy.

When to enjoy it

Perfect in the morning as a coffee alternative, or as an afternoon comfort drink. In summer, make it iced with chilled spelt milk and a few ice cubes.
