Matcha Horchata Latte
I first tasted matcha horchata at a cafe in southern California, and I immediately fell in love! Mexican horchata mixed with Japanese matcha is a match(a) made in heaven (and perfectly describes the Asian American experience growing up in SoCal). It's super easy to make at home, so save your moneys and give it a try.
Servings: 1 12 oz cup
Equipment
- 1 12 oz cup
Ingredients
- 1 tsp matcha about 2g
- 1/4 cup water almost to a boil
- ice
- 1/2 cup Mexican horchata See note
Instructions
- Place tsp of matcha into 12 oz mug (or other heat proof cup if you will be pouring into a different glass).
- Add 1/4 cup almost boiling water and whisk until smooth. I use a bamboo whisk specifically made for matcha, but you can use whatever works.
- Fill cup with ice almost to the brim. (Get a new 12 oz cup if you are pouring the matcha on top)
- Pour the horchata over the ice, stir and enjoy. If you're layering your matcha on top, pour matcha over the iced horchata, take a picture, then stir and enjoy.
Notes
- Please use high quality matcha!
- I googled a horchata recipe and used the first one that came up. See link above in blog post if you want to make your own as well. It's really easy! If not, you can definitely use any store or restaurant-bought horchata as well.
