Description

This Creamy Easy Banana Matcha Latte is a delightful and refreshing beverage that combines the natural sweetness and creaminess of ripe bananas with the vibrant, earthy flavor of matcha green tea. Perfect for a quick 5-minute preparation, it offers a nutritious boost and can be enjoyed hot or cold, tailored to your preference.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe banana (preferably overripe for maximum sweetness and creaminess)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or any non-dairy alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (high-quality culinary or latte-grade)
  • 2-3 tablespoons hot water (to dissolve the matcha powder)
  • Sweetener (optional, adjust to taste; examples include honey, maple syrup, or agave)

Instructions

  1. Blend the banana and milk: Peel a ripe banana and place it in your blender. Add your choice of milk and blend on high for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Dissolve the matcha powder: In a small cup, measure out 1 teaspoon of matcha powder and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk briskly until the matcha powder dissolves completely and no clumps remain, creating a smooth green tea base.
  3. Combine banana milk with matcha: Gradually pour the blended banana milk into the cup with the whisked matcha, stirring gently to ensure an even mixture.
  4. Serve hot or cold: Decide whether you want your latte hot or cold. For a hot drink, serve immediately. For a cold latte, you may add ice cubes and stir before serving.
  5. Enjoy your latte: Savor the inviting aroma and unique flavor combination of the Easy Banana Matcha Latte as you sip your delightful beverage.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for natural sweetness and enhanced creaminess.
  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk to make it vegan or dairy-free.
  • Adjust the sweetness level by adding your preferred sweetener or omitting it altogether.
  • Matcha powder quality greatly influences flavor; use high-quality matcha for best results.
  • For a chilled version, blend ice with the banana and milk or add ice cubes after combining with matcha.
