Ingredients
For the Banana Base
- 1 medium ripe banana (use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 cup milk (any dairy or non-dairy milk can be used)
For the Matcha Mix
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (use high-quality culinary or latte-grade matcha)
- 2-3 tablespoons hot water (to dissolve the matcha)
- Sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Banana Base: Peel a ripe banana and place it in a blender. Add 1 cup of your choice of milk and blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Dissolve the Matcha: In a small cup, add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder and 2-3 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk vigorously until the powder is completely dissolved and there are no clumps.
- Combine the Mixtures: Gradually pour the blended banana milk into the cup with the whisked matcha. Stir gently to combine the two until you have a uniform latte.
- Serve: Decide if you want to enjoy your latte hot or cold. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
- Enjoy: Savor the wonderful aroma before sipping your delicious and nourishing Easy Banana Matcha Latte.
Notes
- For a refreshing treat, store leftover banana milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Use overripe bananas for more natural sweetness and creamier texture.
- Adjust sweetener according to your preference or omit for a natural sweetness.
- Choose your milk based on dietary preference – dairy, almond, oat, or soy all work well.
