    Vanilla Soy Matcha Latte

    Aug 9, 2015 by Kaitlin

    This creamy vegan Vanilla Soy Matcha Latte is so delicious and dairy-free. Plus it is easy to make and naturally sweetened!

    This vanilla soy matcha latte is dreamy and creamy with a delicious natural sweetness.

    Plus it is also quick and easy to assemble.

    My favorite way to prepare matcha is the traditional method simply whisked with hot water. But my husband and I have been enjoying these lattes lately.

    Ingredients for Soy Matcha Latte

    For this recipe you will need just a few simple ingredients:

    • Soy milk: I use plain + unsweetened organic soy milk when possible. If yours is flavored and sweetened, then adjust the other flavors as you see fit.
    • Matcha powder: Any grade of matcha green tea will work with this recipe (ceremonial grade, latte, or culinary). Be sure to use good quality organic matcha with a bright green color.
    • Pure maple syrup: This is my favorite natural sweetener. But feel free to substitute your own favorite or what you have on hand.
    • Vanilla extract

    Customizing

    It is also an easy recipe to adapt based on what you have on hand.

    Plant milk: Simply swap out the soy milk for your own favorite dairy-free milk if you wish. I have also enjoyed these with a combination of hemp milk and almond milk which is delightful as well.

    Sweetness: Also feel free to adjust the sweetness to your taste.

    These are great for pouring into a thermos to take on-the-go as well!

    Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Oil-Free, Vegan
    Servings: 1

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/4 cup organic soymilk (or plant milk of choice)
    • 1 tsp. organic matcha powder
    • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (more/less to desired sweetness)
    • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
    • 1/4 cup water

    Instructions

    • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add milk.
    • Bring to a very light boil, whisking occasionally (this helps create froth).
    • Then add vanilla and maple syrup. Whisk to combine, then turn off heat.
    • Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup water to about 160°F (71°C). In a bowl or wide mug, combine water and matcha. Whisk briskly back and forth to dissolve matcha. (I use a bamboo whisk.)
    • Carefully pour milk into matcha and enjoy.

    Notes

    Matcha powder: Any grade of matcha will work with this recipe (ceremonial, latte, or culinary). Be sure to use good quality organic matcha with a bright green color.

      Love matcha, thank you for sharing. I bought the matcha from Encha after I saw your blog. I have lots of energy now and mental focus. Having a full time job and a 19 month old is not easy.. pour a hot water whisk it and I'm ready for the day. Thank you and more power. Keep blogging!

        So happy you're feeling the wonderful benefits. I'm always so thankful to start my day with a warm bowl of matcha. My daughter is 3 now, and I can only imagine how crazy your days are with a full time job and 19 month old. How awesome to have more energy and mental focus now! Thanks for the sweet message, wishing you a lovely weekend!
