diy green tea latte

I have been a huge fan of green tea. So recently, I have decided to buy Matcha instead of green tea bags. What is Matcha? Matcha is green tea in powdery form which is used for drinking as tea or used in recipes. Matcha consists of whole green tea leaves which are finely-milled into powder form. Therefore, technically I am consuming whole green leaves, which means that I do not need to waste any green tea leaves unlike tea bags which I will throw the tea leaves away.

I bought this starter kit from ebay. The kit consists of a 80g packet of Matcha, a bamboo chasen (whisk), and  a chashaku scoop. I was thrilled. Matcha tastes bitter but is alluring, and I enjoyed it very much. I tried to make my very own green tea latte too. 

This is the texture of Matcha.

I added hot water to the powder and whisked it.

Now I have the green tea base for my latte.

Next, I added warm milk to the base.

Ta-da! I made my very own green tea latte. I should steam and froth my milk. However, I do not have a frother. I am thinking to invest on a good one. Since I am just a beginner now, I was well satisfied with my green tea latte. I also added some honey to my latte for some extra sweetness. 

I sat back and enjoyed watching free online movie while sipping on my green tea latte. It was blissful enough for me to spend my Tuesday night. 

Smile. Love. Persevere.
