Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 tsp high-quality matcha (ceremonial or bright culinary)
  • 2 tbsp hot water (75–80°C / 167–176°F)
  • 240 ml (1 cup) milk or barista-blend plant milk
  • 1 to 2 tsp pure maple syrup, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 3:2:1 cinnamon:ginger:nutmeg + tiny clove)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch sea salt (optional)

Method
 

  1. Sift the matcha: pass 1 tsp through a fine sieve into a bowl to eliminate clumps.
  2. Bloom with hot water: add 2 tbsp water at 75–80°C and whisk rapidly in an “M-motion” for 10–15 seconds until frothy.
  3. Heat the milk with spice: in a small saucepan, warm milk with pumpkin spice, vanilla, and maple until steaming (not boiling), 60–70°C. Froth if desired.
  4. Combine: pour spiced milk into a preheated mug, add the whisked matcha, and stir gently. Finish with a light dusting of spice.
