In the last few months it has become the trend drink par excellence and there is hardly a hip café that does not offer it: the Matcha Latte! The Matcha Latte is actually quite a long way from its Japanese Matcha roots. In particular, the United States and Europe, where the coffee to go / coffee house culture is very strong, have managed to give traditional green tea a modern twist and make the drink part of Western culture! Not least because of the reports on one or the other Matcha Latte fan from Hollywood, such as Gwyneth Paltrow or Liv Tyler, the hot drink is experiencing a real boom!
Matcha Latte is basically a variant of the Café Latte, only with Matcha powder instead of coffee. However, the Matcha version is much more varied. Soy, oat, rice, coconut and almond milk are very popular alternatives to cow's milk. The Matcha Latte is therefore also suitable for vegans and people who eat lactose-free. Anyone who has tried a Matcha Latte with almond milk immediately knows why it is so popular! It tastes so delicious! And by the way, it supplies you with its valuable ingredients.
