Organic Matcha | Green Tea Powder

I have tried to make a cup of matcha latte with this 100% organic matcha powder by Enzo, and it tastes awesome! I only used 1 teaspoon to brew a cup and it taste so wonderful! It is not too bitter but has a quite smooth taste.
It says to have 137X the antioxidants of brewed green tea, and it is good for health.
Although it came in a 4 oz bag, but a little goes a long way! The product was sealed and well packed when arrived.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tsp. green tea (matcha) powder
  • 1 Tbsp. hot water (not boiling water)
  • 1 cup milk (cows, almond, soy, etc)
  • 1 tsp. sugar (optional)
Steps:
  1. Put green tea powder into the cup.
  2. Add hot (not boiling) water and whisk vigorously until powder is all dissolved. This prevents the tea having lumps in it so do not skip. The green tea paste should be smooth and foamy.
  3. Add sweet milk, you can do this my heating the milk in the microwave for 2 minutes, if it's still cold put it in for another 30 seconds then add sugar and stir. Alternatively you can add milk and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat the milk over medium heat until small bubbles start to appear around the edge of the saucepan. Do not bring the milk to full boil. Turn off the heat. (Or use cold milk for iced latte)
  4. Froth the milk until foamy, about 10 seconds with a frothier. If you don't have a frothier, you can skip.
  5. Add the hot milk and foam in the cup and dust the green tea powder on the top. (Add ice for an extra cold iced latte).
