How to Make the BEST Matcha Latte Like a Japanese Cafe [Part 2]

In this Part 2 of my Matcha Mini Series, I show you exactly how to make an S-tier matcha latte as good as the ones found in cafes in Japan. If you've been thinking about cutting out overpriced Starbucks matcha lattes from your life, this is your sign.

If you want to learn more about how to find the best matcha for yourself, check out the Part 1 of my Matcha Mini Series where I cover matcha grading and flavor extensively:

Doug! Thank you so much for such a welcoming series. For about a year now I've been trying to find a way to prepare matcha that brings me joy in the morning, and I have to say, after watching your videos, your preparation has given me something to look forward to in my morning. My whole household can't get enough of it either!!! Thank you again for your research and concise video essays!

This is a really nice video, it’s clear that you’ve put much work into it. Now I’m going to make myself a matcha because this triggered some cravings 🍵

[LOVPH]

just discovered your matcha mastered channel. i dont know if you have mentioned this or not. Nowadays there are so many milk options for matcha latte. AND...this choice will change your enjoyment greatly for sweetness, smoothness and creaminess. matcha latte is a modern day drink mix. if anyone who is serious about matcha, must try without milk. Or attend a traditional matcha ceremony.👍 thanks for your videos.👏

I'm on here for my girl, my journey to surprisingly make matcha hopefully lol

[dianalew]

Pls make a video on how to make a hot matcha latte. Ty!

[rcmplex]

Great video. It's funny that you showed Matcha Cafe Maiko in your video towards the end when you were talking about powedery or diluted matcha. Do you dislike Maiko? Their matcha powder is actually one of the best I've tried for lattes and a good deal compared to importing Marukyu Koyamaen or Ippodo.

Great video! Can you go into more detail on making different syrups at home

[relaxationmeditation]

Great content, I really think this is helpful for matcha newbies or people like myself, who mainly drink it straight (water only) but may want to try a latte every now and then. I've gotten a matcha latte a few times at a cafe only to find it's really lacking in flavor, so I prefer to make my own.

Regarding milk to matcha ratios, does it matter what type of milk you're using? I personally do not drink dairy so I wonder if you've personally tried other milks like soy, almond, oat, for example. Oat milk is also naturally sweet, so some people may not even need to use sugar/sweetener in their drink.

Also, you're right that most "culinary" matcha brands are terrible. However, this type of branding is seen in markets outside of Japan. I never see it labeled "culinary" or "ceremonial" in Japan, you just have to test it out, lol. I'm also not entirely sure you need to purchase the higher tiered blend like Ippodo's Ummon to get a decent matcha latte, imho. I think most people would be happy with the Horai/Sayaka or even the more budget friendly Wakaki or Hatsu for a stronger matcha flavor, especially when they're adding milk and sweetener anyway. Of course taste is subjective, lol.

Look up cold whisk matcha latte. it's when you whisk the matcha directly into the milk. that way you'll reduce the risk of the latte tastes not as strong or too watered down.

The issue with this method is just that you need to add the milk little by little, if not the milk will clump up the matcha powder.

Hey! Where did you get your glass for your 200ml drink? I like the inverted bit on the bottom

[Boba_Fiend]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I can't wait to start making matcha lattes >:D
One question, how much sugar do you recommend using?

[CB-ujnt]

Can you make a video on hot matcha latte

[caidenduband]

can I prepare it without using hot water if i’m making it cold? or will it effect the flavor
