This Maple Matcha Latte is the perfect balance of cozy and uplifting, like your favorite sweater and a sunny morning all in one (or many!) sip. The earthy matcha blends beautifully with the caramel-like sweetness of maple and a gentle sprinkle of cinnamon for that warm fall flavor we all crave the moment the temperature dips. I know I definitely do. I’m just a girl who loves seasonal treats! It’s simple enough to make on a busy weekday because I wrote this for the people like me who don’t have a chasen whisk or exact temperature water boiler. It still feels special enough to slow down and savor. If you’ve been looking for a little moment of comfort in your day, this latte is it!

✨Step By Step Instructions
Step 1: Heat water until hot but not boiling (steam rising, not at a rolling boil).
Step 2: In a heat- or ice-safe cup, add matcha powder. Pour in a splash of the hot water and use an electric whisk to blend until smooth and clump-free (no chasen needed).
Pro tip: If your matcha is clumpy, sift it first or whisk vigorously in small bursts.
Step 3: Stir in maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness.
Step 4 (Iced or Hot): For an iced latte, add ice to the cup, then pour in oat milk or milk of choice. Stir and enjoy. For a hot latte, arm your milk, pour it into the matcha blend, stir, and enjoy warm.
Optional finishing: Froth the milk before adding for extra foam, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, or drizzle extra maple for sweetness.
