DESCRIPTION

A Honey Matcha Latte is a smooth, gently sweet matcha drink that feels comforting, balanced and wonderfully simple. By pairing vibrant matcha with natural honey, this latte highlights the tea’s soft umami notes while adding warmth and roundness — without overpowering the flavour.

This recipe is perfect for slow mornings, cosy afternoons or moments when you want something soothing yet uplifting. Made with quality matcha and lightly sweetened with honey, it’s a drink that feels both indulgent and mindful.

INGRIDIENTS

2 teaspoons high-quality matcha green tea powder

400 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)

2 teaspoons natural honey (adjust to taste)

120 ml hot water (not boiling, around 70–80°C)

Tips & Variations

For best results, choose the best matcha powder you can - freshness and quality make a noticeable difference in flavour and colour.

Oat milk pairs beautifully with honey for extra creaminess.

For a lighter sweetness, start with less honey and adjust gradually.

Prefer iced drinks? Let the matcha cool slightly, then serve over ice with cold milk and honey.

Using ceremonial matcha elevates both flavour and aroma for special moments.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps.

  2. Add the hot water and whisk until smooth and lightly frothy.

  3. Gently warm the milk in a saucepan without boiling.

  4. Stir the honey into the warm milk until fully dissolved.

  5. Divide the prepared matcha evenly between two cups.

  6. Pour the milk over the matcha and gently mix.

  7. Serve warm and enjoy slowly.

The result is a creamy, naturally sweet latte with a beautifully balanced flavour.

🌿 Why Honey and Matcha Are a Perfect Match?

Matcha green tea has a naturally complex flavour — grassy, creamy and slightly sweet. Honey enhances these qualities rather than masking them, creating a latte that feels smooth and harmonious.

When prepared with ceremonial matcha, the result is especially elegant: vibrant colour, clean taste and a silky texture that makes each sip feel intentional. It’s one of the reasons this matcha drink has become a favourite among tea lovers looking for a gentle alternative to sugary lattes.

 

🌸 Choosing the Right Matcha for This Recipe

The quality of your matcha matters. A smooth Honey Matcha Latte starts with fresh, vibrant powder. Many tea lovers look to shop matcha Dublin or buy matcha Cork locally to ensure freshness and trusted sourcing.

A good matcha should be:

  • bright green in colour
  • finely ground
  • smooth, not bitter
  • fresh and aromatic

These qualities define the best matcha powder for lattes and everyday rituals.

 

💚 A Matcha Drink for Gentle Moments

This Honey Matcha Latte is about simplicity and comfort. It’s not rushed or overly sweet — just balanced, warm and quietly energising. Whether enjoyed alone or shared, it fits beautifully into calm daily rituals.

Soft, smooth and naturally sweet, it’s a matcha drink that feels like a small pause worth taking 🍵✨
