Ingredients

Scale

Brown Sugar Syrup

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (dark preferred)
  • 1/2 cup water

Matcha Paste

  • 1–2 teaspoons ceremonial or culinary grade matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons hot water

Final Drink

  • 1 cup milk (whole milk or plant-based milk like oat or almond)
  • Ice cubes (as needed to fill the glass)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brown Sugar Syrup: Heat equal parts brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Whisk Matcha Powder: Sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps. Add hot water and whisk briskly with a bamboo whisk or small whisk until you achieve a smooth, vibrant green paste without lumps.
  3. Combine Matcha and Syrup: Stir the cooled brown sugar syrup into the matcha paste gently to blend the caramel sweetness with the earthy matcha flavor.
  4. Add Milk and Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour in your choice of milk, then slowly pour the matcha and syrup mixture over the top to create a layered effect, or stir together as preferred.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Give the latte a final gentle stir, optionally garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder or toasted coconut flakes, and enjoy immediately for the best refreshing flavor.

Notes

  • Use quality, fresh matcha powder for the best color and flavor.
  • Sift matcha powder before whisking to avoid lumps.
  • Brown sugar syrup can be made ahead and stored up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
  • Pour ingredients slowly to create beautiful layers before mixing.
  • Experiment with chilled or slightly warmed milk to vary texture and flavor.
