Ingredients (1 serving)
- ½ ripe banana
- ¾ cup milk of choice (oat, almond, or regular milk)
- 1 tsp ceremonial matcha powder
- ¼ cup hot water (not boiling, around 80°C/175°F)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional, for a banana bread vibe)
- 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, if you like it sweeter)
- Banana slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Banana Milk
In a blender, combine ½ banana, milk, cinnamon, and maple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. You can strain it if you prefer a super smooth texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Matcha
Sift matcha powder into a bowl to remove clumps. Add hot water and whisk using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or milk frother until frothy and smooth.
Step 3: Heat & Froth the Banana Milk
Warm the blended banana milk on the stove or in the microwave (but don’t boil). Froth it using a milk frother or whisk vigorously for a creamy texture.
Step 4: Assemble the Latte
Pour the warm banana milk into a cup, then slowly add the whisked matcha on top for a layered effect.
Step 5: Garnish & Enjoy!
Top with banana slices and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for that banana bread aesthetic. Stir before sipping—or enjoy the layers first!
