MOCHA MATCHA LATTE

Mocha Matcha Latte

Ingredients:

•  1-2 teaspoons matcha powder
•  1 teaspoon cocoa powder
•  2 tablespoons hot water
•  1-1/4 cups milk or milk alternative*
•  1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice

Instructions:

1. Prep matcha: Add matcha powder and cocoa powder to a small bowl or mug. Add hot water and whisk well to fully dissolve the dry powders into the hot water.
2. Heat milk: Bring milk of choice to a low simmer in a small sauce pan, or heat for 60-90 seconds in the microwave.
3. Mix milk into matcha and cocoa: Pour the heated milk over the dissolved matcha and cocoa mixture. Stir with a spoon until completely dissolved.
4. Sweeten (optional): If using unsweetened milk and you would like a sweeter latte, add 1 teaspoon of sweetener of choice (we like maple syrup) and mix until well combined.
5. Garnish (optional): Sprinkle with matcha powder and/or cocoa powder, add a few vegan marshmallows, or add a few drops of peppermint oil and a candy cane for a holiday treat
