Description
A delightful blueberry matcha latte made with homemade fruit sauce, combining the earthy flavor of matcha with the sweetness of blueberry jam.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup organic blueberries
- 1–2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ceremonial matcha
- 2 oz hot water (160°F)
- 6 oz oat milk or any milk
- 1–2 tablespoons blueberry jam
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Jam: Put blueberries, lemon, and monk fruit sweetener in a small pot. Mash gently. Cook on low for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir occasionally. Add chia seeds if desired. Let it cool.
- Mix the Milk and Blueberry Jam: In a clean glass, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of blueberry jam. Pour in 6 oz of oat milk (or your choice of milk). Use a milk frother or spoon to blend until smooth and purple.
- Whisk the Ceremonial Matcha: Sift 4 grams (about 2 teaspoons) of ceremonial matcha into a small bowl using a fine mesh sieve. Heat water to 160°F (70°C). Pour 70 grams (about 2.5 oz) of hot water into the bowl. Whisk quickly using a chasen (bamboo whisk) until a fine layer of foam forms on top.
- Assemble the Matcha Latte: Fill your glass halfway with ice. Slowly pour in the whisked matcha, then gently pour the purple milk mixture on top. Optional: Dust matcha powder on top using a small sieve. Stir before drinking, or leave it layered.
Notes
- Any milk works; for keto, try almond milk.
- No monk fruit? Use maple syrup or stevia.
- Frozen blueberries are fine; thaw them first.
- For a warm drink, skip the ice and heat the milk.
- Add lemon zest for more brightness.
