Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 medium ripe banana (preferably overripe for maximum sweetness and creaminess)
Liquids
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy of your choice)
- 2-3 tablespoons hot water (for dissolving matcha)
Others
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (high-quality culinary or latte-grade)
- Sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the banana base: Peel the ripe banana and place it into a blender. Add your choice of milk and blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Dissolve the matcha: In a small cup, add the matcha powder and pour in enough hot water to dissolve it. Whisk vigorously until the matcha is completely smooth and free of clumps.
- Combine the latte: Slowly pour the blended banana milk into the cup with the dissolved matcha while stirring gently to blend the flavors thoroughly.
- Serve: Decide whether you want your latte hot or cold. Serve immediately either warmed or over ice for a refreshing chilled drink.
- Enjoy: Take a moment to savor the enticing aroma before sipping your creamy and delicious banana matcha latte.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for natural added sweetness and creaminess without extra sugar.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder to taste for a stronger or milder green tea flavor.
- Sweetener is optional; honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup works well if desired.
- For a vegan version, select plant-based milks such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- This latte can be served hot or cold depending on your preference.
