How to Make a Matcha Banana Latte

Step 1: Prepare the Matcha

  1. Sift 3g of matcha using a matcha sieve into a matcha bowl to remove any clumps.
  2. Pour in 50ml of water heated to around 80°C and whisk in a zigzag (M or W) motion until the matcha is smooth and frothy.
  3. Add your choice of milk and mix together.

Step 2: Blend the banana

Add the frozen banana and milk to a blender. Blend for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.

Using a fresh banana instead? Add a handful of ice cubes to achieve the same chilled, creamy texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Matcha Banana Latte

  1. Fill a serving glass with ice cubes.
  2. Slowly pour the freshly whisked matcha.
  3. Pour in the blended banana milk over the top to create beautiful layers.
  4. Add your syrup of choice (Optional)
  5. Stir well before drinking and enjoy!
