Discover the Almond Milk Matcha Latte recipe—a lighter, delicious alternative for matcha lovers. Easy to make and perfectly balanced, it blends the benefits of green tea with the naturally sweet taste of almond milk. Ideal for a healthy, indulgent break.
Ingredients (1 cup):
- 200 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 1 level tsp matcha powder Organic Ceremonial Matcha
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
Method:
Step 1: Warm the almond milk
- Heat the milk: Pour the almond milk into a small saucepan and warm gently. Do not boil—this helps preserve flavour and nutrients.
Step 2: Prepare the matcha
- Mix the matcha: In a large bowl, add the matcha and maple syrup (or your sweetener). Slowly pour in the warm almond milk while whisking vigorously for about 30 seconds until frothy and smooth.
- Use a whisk: Ideally, use a chasen (traditional bamboo whisk). If you don’t have one, a regular whisk works too—whisk until nicely foamy.
Step 3: Enjoy
- Serve: Pour your matcha latte into a cup and enjoy immediately. Almond milk matcha latte is soft, lightly sweet and perfect for a relaxing moment.
Barista tip: sift the matcha before whisking to avoid lumps, and keep the water/milk
below boiling (≈70–75°C) to preserve umami. Need the step-by-step basics? Check our

Extra tip:
For an even creamier texture, add 1 tsp of almond butter before whisking. Prefer it sweeter? Simply adjust the maple syrup to taste.
