Ready Time

30 mins

Yields

9 servings

Ingredients

Green tea leaves (9 teaspoons)
Granulated sugar (1 1/2 cups)
Whole milk (3 3/4 cups)
Ice cubes (as needed)
Vanilla extract (1 1/2 teaspoons)

Instructions

Start by brewing the green tea leaves in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, or until the tea reaches your desired strength. Strain the tea leaves and let the tea cool down to room temperature.

Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and 1 cup of the whole milk until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Add in the vanilla extract and whisk until combined. Add the cooled green tea to the sugar mixture and whisk until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining 2 3/4 cups of whole milk until it becomes frothy and doubled in volume.

To assemble the latte, pour the tea mixture over ice cubes in a glass, then top with the frothy milk. Stir gently to combine.

Repeat the process to make 8 more servings.

Serve immediately and adjust the sweetness and creaminess to your taste!

Notes

Use high-quality green tea leaves for a more vibrant flavor. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, but 1 1/2 cups is a good starting point for a balanced sweetness.

Make sure to let the tea cool down completely to prevent the milk from curdling.

If you find the vanilla extract too strong, start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste. Whisking the milk until frothy and doubled in volume is key to achieving a creamy texture, so don’t skip this step! You can also garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder or a few green tea leaves for a beautiful presentation.
