Hot Matcha Drink Recipes

Want a matcha drink that warms your hands around the cup? Here, lattes sit alongside richer versions and matcha prepared with hot water.

Among our matcha drinks, we'd start with a hot latte if you like milk: a matcha base mixed with water goes into it. For a cup without milk, matcha with water or koicha, a thicker preparation, may suit you better.

Which hot matcha drink should you choose?

• 
  If you want to taste the tea in warm milk, the matcha latte combines a whisked base with milk.
• 
  For a cup in which black tea and spices steep before the matcha is added, the matcha chai latte takes longer than a plain latte.
• 
  When the pumpkin puree is already cooked, the matcha pumpkin spice latte adds cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to warm milk.
• 
  For a drink closer to dessert, matcha white hot chocolate adds white chocolate's sweetness to the milk.
• 
  Foam that sits on top of the drink first calls for a mixer and cold chickpea liquid: that's how you make dalgona matcha.
• 
  Without milk or foam, koicha matcha makes a thick tea paste with little water.
• 
  The roasted notes of hojicha, a roasted Japanese green tea, meet green tea in the matcha hojicha latte; choose it if you want to keep the milk.

For serving matcha cold

Instead of a hot cup, cold matcha recipes let you choose matcha with water, an iced latte, or a float.
