- For a hot vanilla matcha latte. Place 1 cup milk, sweetener if desired, and vanilla bean seeds into a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk until warm, making sure not to bring to a boil so the milk doesn't scald. Add the matcha shot to the saucepan and keep whisking until frothy. Pour into a hot mug and enjoy!
- For an iced vanilla matcha latte. Place the matcha shot, 2 cups milk, maple syrup and vanilla into a blender and puree until very creamy. Enjoy as is or serve over iced cubes-- for a less watered down latte, I love serving these over milk ice cubes. See note below.
Notes
To make milk ice cubes, pour the milk into ice cube trays. Freeze to use for later.
For a frosty treat, blend the same ingredients with the milk ice cubes in a blender for a matcha frappuccino.
