I use coconut milk, cane sugar and a dash of vanilla... so good. We drink in the mornings everyday because of the health benefits of the matcha.

[@LiveSimply]

Excellent, thanks for sharing Carla.

[@arhammonds4492]

I typically drink Matcha hot - as a tea. And lately, I've been adding it to cranberry juice - hot - for a vitamin boost when I'm not feeling well. Looking forward to trying this recipe this summer!

[@LiveSimply]

Sounds delicious.

[@attackcenter]

Making Matcha Latte in a blender is smart if you don't have a whisk and want the Matcha blended quickly with consistently. I prefer heating my water and milk first. Also, I add vanilla extract and brown sugar.

[@LiveSimply]

Good idea, thanks for sharing Chris

I just made my first matcha latte this morning. I used stevia powder to lightly sweeten it and steamed/frothed unsweetened soy milk. I used my espresso machine's steam wand. This is so delicious! It's so smooth and soothing. I still love my coffee lattes in the morning or a cold brew in the summer but the matcha is a great alternative!

[@tranlily3001]

Matcha for life, matcha for fit, matcha for healthy!!! Matcha latte :)) I can drink this yummy drink everyday & anytime LOL. Nothing better in hot summer day, have a great cool ice matcha latte. Thanks god I never addiction to cola, pepsi since I was kid. I'm only addiction to healthy, yummy food :D

[@TheRivalConcept]

I love matcha ever since i visted Japan and even had the Instant no so healthy Kind, ' Matcha Au Lait i think they were called ' Blendy Sticks' but how i make mine : 1 cup of Ice 1/2 to 3/4 cup non dairy milk ( i prefer Soy ) 1tsp Vanilla Powder 1 tsp or to taste of Matcha Powder and Green Stevia ( tastes like super sweet Matcha) or if I dont have the Green Stevia I use organic Sugar or Rice Malt Syrup and 1/8 - 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum for a nice mouth feel and to keep the ice and milk from seperating to fast :D

[@LiveSimply]

[@LiveSimply]

Thanks for the comment I am glad you love it!

[@its.valerie]

Matcha green tea lattes are Absolutely one of my favorite drinks to start my day ☺🍵 🍃

[@tarshun]

Tried it with almond milk and it was fabulous. Your method also took out the extra step of whisking. Thanks!

[@LiveSimply]

Excellent, Thanks for sharing tarshun

Matcha Is LIFE!!!💚

[@sheryl.sst1537]

I love matcha and drink it everyday. usually just 1 tsp. matcha, pure vanilla, cardamon, 10 oz hot water, put it all in a life factory glass bottle and shake. on Saturdays in the fall I make a blended matcha; in a blender I put 1 1/2 tsp matcha, pure vanilla, chai powder, 1/2 a ripe banana, 2 tbsp pumpkin puree, 8 oz plant milk, 8 oz filtered water, I blend until smooth. for winter I substitute peppermint extract for the vanilla and leave out the pumpkin puree.

[@LiveSimply]

Thank you for sharing your recipe! I will try it.

[@rjacobo5297]

Looks delicious

[@StormyK86]

I like to make my matcha into a paste (I/2 tsp). With either coconut milk or nut milk, add a tsp of vanilla & some honey, blend well. Grab a big spoon, put it just above your milk & pour your matcha over it. I like to have my matcha on the top a bit & blend.

[@LiveSimply]

Yum!

[@juliequates9529]

Thanks so much for this idea. I will definitely give this a try! Bought matcha on a whim and haven't used it. Cute bloopers at the end. LoL!

[@LiveSimply]

Ha ha, thanks. The blender exploding was not expected. :)

[@sillyname6808]

Matcha doesn’t have to be expensive if you buy it directly from Japan through a company like ocha and co. As long as you aren’t buying the highest grand ceremonial match you can get 100g of high quality match for 20 bucks. Just make sure whatever your buy from that your not getting food grade matcha as that’s for baking and that your matcha is bright green not dull or yellow looking.

[@curlysue1286]

love it with coconut milk

[@pamelathomas2294]

Either way is Great!!! 👍

[@garcej.h212]

your the best

[@darmawanmelodysherinapsfan7136]

Nice

[@martap3828]

Hi! I'm looking for this info everywhere... How often can you drink matcha? Is it ok to drink it everyday? And of course it's better for your health to drink it with or without milk? Thank you for help :)

[@LiveSimply]

I'm not sure about the specific health benefits of drinking it with or without milk. If you can handle green tea or coffee daily, I would think that a daily matcha drink would be fine.

[@tranlily3001]

Marcela P I'm Asian, I'm sure you can drink 2 cup of matcha latte everyday (or 5day a week LOL) Just add less sugar. Why? More sugar not good for healthy. More sugar, you can only feel the sweet taste STRONGER than natural scents auroma from matcha. I use non-dairy milk (soymilk, coconut milk, almond milk. Almond milk is expensive in my country cause we don't grown it & it's only from export, that's why I use soymilk or coconut milk depend on whatever I want) If you can drink without sugar, it taste more matcha scent auroma, but of course a bit...bitter. Just a bit, not too much. But it more healthier. Matcha is good in any way, more than regular tea (you can search information of how JAPANESE made matcha, organic grown, and the way they product them that's why it have beautiful color, amazing auroma, good nutrient as anti aging, anti cancer,weightless,etc..)

[@BarbaraC147]

I have a matcha every morning now with breakfast. I've replaced my morning coffee with a morning matcha. I haven't been doing it super long but I find I definitely do feel better for it.

[@lighthouse1566]

Yeah a healthy alternative to the sugar laden Starbucks frappucino 😌🙏🏻 Thank you

[@LiveSimply]

Thanks Light House, your welcome.

i would love to see a video on how you make your homemade nut milks, both these drinks look delicious

[@LiveSimply]

That's a great idea EM Tyree! I will consider making that video. I do have full tutorials on my blog on how to make almond and cashew milk. livesimply.me/2015/06/16/how-to-make-almond-milk/ livesimply.me/2016/05/17/make-creamy-cashew-milk-dairy-free-milk-coffee-creamer/

[@BarbaraC147]

I drink a cup or glass of matcha every morning now for the health benefits. AND yes because I just really do love it. So far I have only made warm lattes though. But I've really loved them. But here is what I do. First I make the matcha in my matcha maker, its a shaker kind of thing. I like to use the flavoured matchas, maple and strawberry are my current favourites. I cant tell you the exact measurements for that, as I personally measure the matcha with the perfect matcha spoon from DavidsTea. And use their matcha maker (and teas) But for their flavoured matchas, you'd use 5 perfect matcha spoons and add the warm water to halfway to the fill line of their matcha maker. But I'd say that I use the exact same amount of matcha to make a latte as to make a regular matcha, but half the amount of water. Then I put 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk in a glass measuring cup and microwave it till it's warm. About a minute and a half on my microwave. After I shake up the matcha in my matcha maker to make it really foamy on top, pour it into a glass, and stir in a packet of Splenda. Then I whip the milk in the measuring cup with my milk frother till it doubles in size. I then use a spoon to hold back the thickest part of the foam and pour about half the almond milk into the matcha and stir. Then I gently spoon the thicker part of the foam over the top of the latte. I sometimes sprinkle some cocoa or cinnamon on top.

[@phdrn]

is milk with honey ok? I use sirup normally

[@kerinohwithatwist]

I don’t know if I like matcha tea yet. I haven’t tried any from a cafe and the ones I made so far isn’t tasting that good.

Is a blender required?

[@LiveSimply]

No, you could use a traditional matcha-making technique with a whisk.

[@BarbaraC147]

There are all kinds of ways to make it. I don't own a blender and it's never held me back. You could use the matcha bamboo whisk, a matcha maker (shaker), a frother, (I use all those 3 at times), pretty much anything that xan and will whip or incorporate air into the mixture. I'd say even one of those handheld blenders could work.

[@memedaddy7432]

I use matcha for my son's diaper rash

[@hawanajwaabdullah6134]

meme daddy Does it work???

[@memedaddy7432]

Yes! It works very well!

[@hollyberg8398]

Matcha isn't 8 bucks. It's 5 at Starbucks for a venti

[@miltonfriedman3593]

matcha is definitely not just grounded green tea!!!

[@LiveSimply]

Sorry if my explanation was taken that way.

[@miltonfriedman3593]

Live Simply lol its OK

[@miltonfriedman3593]

Live Simply also hate it when people say matcha is expensive, make matcha latte every morning cost me 50 Cent, i buy ceremonial straight from Japan... 8$ is jusrt crazy...

[@faisalakml]
