Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:5 minutes
Total Time:10 minutes
Yield:1 serving 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for a richer flavor)
1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetener to taste (erythritol, stevia, monk fruit adjust to your preference)
Pinch of sea salt
Optional toppings: whipped cream (keto-friendly), sprinkle of matcha powder
Instructions
Sift the Matcha: Sift matcha powder into a small bowl using a fine-mesh sieve.
Create a Matcha Paste (Optional): Add 1-2 tablespoons of hot (not boiling) water to the sifted matcha. Whisk until a smooth, dark green paste forms.
Heat the Almond Milk: Gently heat almond milk in a saucepan over medium heat (do not boil) or microwave for 1-2 minutes until warm.
Combine Ingredients: Pour heated almond milk into a blender. Add matcha paste (or sifted matcha powder), MCT oil (or coconut oil), heavy cream (if using), vanilla extract, sweetener, and salt.
Blend for Creaminess: Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until frothy and well combined. Start on low speed and gradually increase to prevent splattering.
Pouring and Garnishing: Pour the blended latte into your favorite mug. If you’re feeling fancy, top it with some keto-friendly whipped cream and a sprinkle of matcha powder.
Adjusting Sweetness: Taste your latte and adjust the sweetener to your liking.
Enjoying Your Latte: Sip and savor your warm, creamy, and energizing keto matcha latte!
Notes
For the smoothest latte, create a matcha paste before blending.
Be careful when blending hot liquids. Start on a low speed and gradually increase.
Adjust sweetener to your preference.
Experiment with variations like adding spices, cocoa powder, or using different milk options.
If matcha is clumpy after blending, sift again or use a milk frother.
Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and color.
