Notes
For the best taste, use ceremonial grade matcha. Culinary grade may taste bitter.
Experiment with different milks for varied flavors. Oat milk adds creaminess, while almond milk is lighter.
Frothing the milk slightly can enhance creaminess.
Best enjoyed fresh, as stored matcha lattes tend to separate over time.
