LATTE ART FOR BEGINNERS
Do you want to be able to make stylish latte art that is both Instagram-friendly and impresses the guest? All you need for the perfect matcha latte is skimmed milk, a chopstick and a good quality matcha!
DO THIS
1) Whisk the matcha powder with water (75-80 °C) and add warm skimmed milk. (Pour slowly at first so that the milk ends up under the matcha and the foam remains in the jug.)
2) Then pour the milk foam so that two dots form in the matcha.
3 – 4) Shape the foam by dragging a chopstick in a circle in the matcha to create two nice hearts!
Tip! Similarly, you can create lots of fine latte art – experiment!
Plant-based milk is the best choice for a matcha latte as the milk protein in cow's milk binds the antioxidants in the matcha (and we want to keep these for ourselves), but plant-based milk can be more difficult to use for "regular" latte art such as the classic leaf - then the chopstick trick is perfect!
