Tea latte drinks

Hojicha, Ube and Matcha latte: café-style tea drinks at home

These drinks are for moments when you want something creamy, colourful and café-like without making another coffee.

Matcha latte

Matcha gives a vivid green cup with a grassy, creamy profile. Sift the powder if it clumps and whisk before adding milk.

Use water that is not boiling to keep the taste smoother.

Hojicha latte

Hojicha is roasted Japanese green tea. It tastes nutty and gentle, with less of the grassy punch you get from matcha.

It works very well warm or iced with oat milk.

Ube latte

Ube gives a purple, dessert-like drink. It is not tea in the classic sense, but it fits the same cosy home café moment.

Check ingredients and sweetness, because powders can differ a lot.

Tools that help

A small whisk, milk frother, fine sieve and double-walled glass make the drinks easier and prettier.

Start simple: one powder, one milk and one glass you enjoy.
