Creamy Matcha Almond Latte
I love how this matcha almond latte feels like a warm hug in a cup, especially on chilly mornings. The creaminess from the almond milk combined with the earthy matcha is just divine.
This recipe is a little morning ritual for me; it’s my cozy moment before diving into the day.
I remember the first time I made this latte, sitting by the window, watching the rain fall outside, and sipping on the creamy goodness.
It makes me feel grounded and energized all at once.
Plus, it's a beautiful way to incorporate matcha into my routine, which I adore for its gentle caffeine boost and antioxidant properties.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using unsweetened almond milk because it's light and creamy. If you want a richer flavor, you could also try cashew milk or oat milk. Just make sure to avoid any that have added sugars if you're keeping it whole-foods plant-based. And don't skimp on the matcha—quality matters here! It really makes a difference in flavor and health benefits.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my matcha in a dark glass jar to keep it fresh and vibrant.
- •If you want a frothier latte, you can blend the almond milk in a blender before adding it to the matcha.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost if I’m having this after a workout.
- •You could also sprinkle a bit of cocoa powder on top for a mocha twist!
Storage & Freezing
This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftover almond milk in the fridge for up to three days. Just give it a good shake before using it again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Absolutely! I've tried this with oat milk and soy milk too, and they both work beautifully. Just pick your favorite.
