Recipe Tips
When purchasing matcha powder, it’s recommended to look for ceremonial-grade or culinary-grade matcha, depending on your intended use.
Culinary-grade matcha is more suitable for cooking, baking, and making matcha-based beverages like lattes. It is made from slightly older tea leaves and has a more robust flavor compared to ceremonial-grade matcha. Culinary-grade matcha is often used in recipes where the matcha flavor needs to be more pronounced, as it can withstand higher temperatures and the addition of other ingredients.
Recipe Variations
- Traditional Sweeteners: Traditional choices include cane sugar or granulated sugar. They dissolve easily and provide a balanced sweetness to the latte. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
- Honey: Honey adds a natural sweetness and a hint of floral flavor to the latte. It blends well with matcha and can enhance its overall taste. Use quality honey that complements the flavors of matcha.
- Maple Syrup: Maple syrup adds a unique sweetness with earthy undertones, which can complement the grassy flavor of matcha. It’s a popular choice for those who prefer a natural sweetener.
- Agave Nectar: Agave nectar is a liquid sweetener derived from the agave plant. It has a mild and neutral taste, which won’t overpower the matcha flavor. It dissolves easily in cold beverages.
- Stevia or Monk Fruit Sweetener: For those seeking a sugar-free option, stevia or monk fruit sweeteners can be used as they are low in calories and provide sweetness without sugar. These sweeteners are available in powder or liquid form.
