green tea latte

in an effort to cut the amount of dollars i spend per week at starbucks, i've decided to start making my latte's at home. thankfully, i was a barista in high school so the whole "venti, decaf, triple shot, sugar free, vanilla, 2% milk, extra white mocha, extra hot, no whip, no foam, extra drizzle, marble mocha macchiato" is no mystery to me. however, my order is much simpler. happy tasting!

1. mix matcha green tea powder with the hot water until dissolved. stir in sugar to taste. add milk (and optional vanilla syrup) and stir.

*tip: use hot or steamed milk for a hot latte, cold milk and ice for an iced latte, or toss in a blender with ice cubes for a smoothie.
