Maca Matcha Latte - hot or as an iced latte
Creamy, delicate, and pleasantly sweet: This Maca Matcha Latte combines the characteristic taste of matcha with the slightly malty notes of maca. Yacon powder provides a natural sweetness.
You can enjoy the latte warm or prepare it as a refreshing version with ice cubes.
Preparation time: approx. 5 minutes
Suitable for: vegan, hot or cold
Ingredients for 1 serving
- 250–300 ml plant-based milk
- 2 heaping tsp maca powder
- 1–3 tsp yacon powder, depending on desired sweetness
- 1 tsp high-quality matcha powder
- a little warm water
- optional: ice cubes
Preparation
- Place the matcha powder in a small bowl and pour a little warm, non-boiling water over it.
- Whisk the matcha with a matcha whisk or milk frother until there are no more lumps and a fine foam has formed.
- Thoroughly mix the plant-based milk with the maca powder and yacon powder.
- Pour the maca milk into a glass or cup and slowly pour the prepared matcha over it.
- Stir briefly and enjoy immediately.
Warm version
Gently heat the plant-based milk first, without letting it boil. Then stir in the maca and yacon powder and pour the frothed matcha over the top.
Iced Maca Matcha Latte
Fill a glass with a few ice cubes and pour the cold maca milk over them. Finally, add the prepared matcha. This also creates a particularly beautiful green color layering.
Tips
- The latte is especially creamy when made with oat, almond, or cashew drink.
- Start with one teaspoon of yacon powder and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Do not use boiling water for the matcha, as it can quickly become bitter.
- For an especially smooth consistency, you can briefly blend the plant-based milk, maca, and yacon powder with a milk frother or in a blender.
