Instructions
Matcha Latte:
To make the matcha latte, combine soy milk, maple syrup, and matcha powder in a high speed blender. You can bring the soy milk to a gentle simmer on the stove before adding to the blender.
Blend on the "hot" mode until you get your desired temperature (about 5 minutes if starting with cold soy milk, about 45 seconds on high if using hot milk).
Serve immediately, for a treat add coconut whip and a sprinkle of matcha for garnish!
For the Iced Tea:
In a cocktail shaker or mason jar with a lid, add water and matcha powder and shake until matcha is dissolved.
Add ice, maple syrup, lemon juice and shake well to incorporate and chill iced tea.
In a large glass, muddle 1 sprig of mint leaves with more ice OR simply bruise the leaves by twisting them with your fingers. Pour over iced tea and garnish with 2 slices of lemon and a sprig of mint leaves. Enjoy!
