Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Mixture
- 30ml hot water
- 1/2 tsp matcha powder (1.5g)
- 10g pistachio paste (100%)
- 15g agave sirup
Milk and Cream
- 320ml Alpro oat milk (or other plant-based/dairy milk)
- 50g whipping cream, plant-based (or dairy)
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Base: Mix the hot water with the matcha powder until fully incorporated and no lumps remain. Use a matcha whisk if available, otherwise a small whisk, whisking longer or sieving to ensure smoothness.
- Add Pistachio Paste: Whisk in the pistachio paste into the matcha mixture until completely combined. Transfer this mixture into your serving glass.
- Sweeten: Add the agave sirup to the glass with the matcha-pistachio mixture and set aside while preparing the milk.
- Whip Cream: Whip the plant-based or dairy whipping cream until soft or firm peaks form, then set aside for topping.
- Froth Milk and Assemble: Froth the oat milk until airy and creamy. Pour the frothed milk slowly over the matcha-pistachio mixture in the glass. Stir gently if desired.
- Finish with Cream and Garnish: Top the latte with the whipped cream and dust lightly with matcha powder for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Almond milk is not recommended as its flavor might overpower the delicate pistachio and matcha taste.
- Agave sirup can be omitted for an unsweetened version.
- White chocolate can be added instead of agave sirup for natural sweetness; omit the agave in this case.
- Whipping cream is optional; you can enjoy the latte with just frothed milk if preferred.
- Use high-quality matcha powder for best flavor, ideally ceremonial grade.
