  • Single-Serving Matcha Blueberry Latte

    Single- Serving Matcha Blueberry Latte

    Hi! So for about 3 months now, I have been fixated on this very delicious matcha recipe. As someone who isn’t a fan of the blueberry fruit itself, I absolutely love the blueberry flavoring. I know, crazy, right? So I wanted to share my current recipe for a yummy blueberry matcha latte. Takes about 10 minutes to make and won’t let you down.. Hopefully.

    Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 Tbsp matcha powder I recommend Ippodo Matcha – Sayaka Version
    • 8 oz 1 cup milk (For non-dairy, use Chobani Extra Creamy Oat Milk)
    • 1 1/2 Tbsp honey
    • 2 Tbsp fresh blueberries
    • A pinch of salt
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 Tbsp water for the blueberry syrup
    • 4 oz water for the matcha

    Equipment

    • Whisk (matcha whisk or mini spiral whisk)
    • Hot water kettle or pot (to boil water)
    • Small pot (for blueberry syrup)
    • Small bowl
    • Ice
    • Your favorite cup
    • Heat Safe Spoon

    Method
     

    Heat the Water:
    1. In a hot water kettle or small pot, heat 4 ounces of water to 175°F. Be careful not to let it boil, as this can make the matcha taste bitter.
    Prepare the Matcha:
    1. In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon of matcha powder. Pour in 2 ounces of the heated water. Whisk the mixture using a matcha whisk or mini spiral whisk until it’s smooth and creamy, with no clumps remaining. Set aside.
    Make the Blueberry Syrup:
    1. In a small pot, combine 2 tablespoons of fresh blueberries, 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium-low heat for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The mixture should become syrupy, with the blueberries breaking down completely.
    Strain and Cool the Syrup:
    1. Once the syrup is fully combined, remove it from the heat and strain it to remove any solid pieces. Place the strained syrup in the fridge to cool for about 5 minutes.
    Assemble the Latte:
    1. In your favorite cup, add the cooled blueberry syrup and 8 ounces of milk (or your preferred non-dairy alternative). For a layered effect, leave it unmixed; otherwise, stir it together. Gently pour the prepared matcha on top.
    Serve:
    1. Add ice if desired. Stir everything together if you prefer a uniform taste, or enjoy the visual layers before mixing. Sip and enjoy your homemade matcha blueberry latte!
