ingredients (serves 1)

method

1. Prep the Whisk

Soak your bamboo whisk in warm water for a few seconds before you begin. This softens the tines and helps you whisk a smoother, clump free matcha.

2. Whisk the Matcha

Sift 2g of PerfectTed Original Matcha Powder into a bowl, add 30ml of hot water (around 70°C) and whisk until smooth and clump free.

3. Froth the Milk

Steam or froth 200 to 250ml of oat milk using an electric whisk or handheld frother until it's fine, glossy and holds its shape.

4. Combine and Enjoy

Pour the whisked matcha into your cup, then slowly pour the frothed milk over the top so the two textures meet rather than mix. The result is a latte that looks and tastes like it's come straight from a specialty cafe, your Perfect Microfoam Matcha Latte is ready to enjoy!

tips for the best perfect microfoam matcha latte

  • Ratios matter: great matcha is about balance, so start with 1 tsp of matcha to 30ml of hot water and adjust the milk to your taste.
  • Whisking matters: use a bamboo whisk or a handheld frother to get that glossy, clump free base every time.
  • Practice the pour: pouring slowly and from a height helps the milk and matcha layer rather than blend together.
  • Milk choice: oat milk froths beautifully, but any milk with a bit of fat content, such as whole milk, will microfoam well too.
  • Temperature check: keep your water around 70°C. Too hot and the matcha turns bitter.
