Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana (preferably overripe for maximum sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 cup milk (any dairy or non-dairy milk such as almond, soy, oat, or cow’s milk)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (high-quality culinary or latte-grade matcha)
- 2-3 tablespoons hot water (to dissolve the matcha powder)
- Sweetener (optional, adjust to taste; e.g., honey, maple syrup, or sugar)
Instructions
- Blend the banana and milk: Peel the ripe banana and place it into a blender. Add your chosen milk and blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Dissolve the matcha: In a small cup, add the matcha powder and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of hot water over it. Whisk thoroughly until the matcha is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
- Combine banana milk with matcha: Slowly pour the blended banana and milk mixture into the cup containing the dissolved matcha. Stir gently to combine the flavors evenly.
- Serve hot or cold: Decide whether you want your latte warm or chilled. For a hot latte, serve immediately. For a cold version, pour over ice and enjoy chilled.
- Enjoy: Inhale the inviting aroma and savor your delicious, creamy banana matcha latte.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for a sweeter, creamier latte without needing extra sweeteners.
- You can substitute milk according to dietary preferences or lactose intolerance (e.g., almond milk, oat milk, soy milk).
- Adjust sweeteners based on your taste or dietary needs.
- The amount of hot water used to dissolve matcha can be slightly adjusted to control latte thickness.
- For a frothier latte, you can use a milk frother after combining all ingredients.
