How to Make a Jasmine Matcha Latte

A floral twist on your classic green tea pick-me-up

If you love the calming ritual of matcha but crave something a little more floral and unique, the Jasmine Matcha Latte is your new go-to. With just a few simple ingredients, this drink combines the earthy depth of matcha with the sweet, perfumed notes of jasmine tea—ideal for a cozy morning or peaceful afternoon reset.

🌿 What You’ll Need:

• 1 tsp matcha powder (ceremonial grade preferred)

• 1/2 cup brewed jasmine tea (cooled slightly)

• 1/2 cup milk of your choice (almond, oat, coconut, or whole milk)

• 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• Hot water for whisking

• A bamboo whisk (chasen) or milk frother

• A small bowl + your favorite mug or glass

🍵 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Brew the Jasmine Tea
Steep 1 tsp of loose-leaf jasmine green tea (or 1 teabag) in hot water for about 2–3 minutes. Let it cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Matcha
In a small bowl, sift 1 tsp of matcha powder. Add a splash of hot water (not boiling—about 175°F). Whisk using a bamboo whisk in a “W” motion until it’s frothy and smooth.

3. Sweeten (if you like)
Add honey or maple syrup to the jasmine tea and stir well.

4. Combine
Pour the jasmine tea into your mug, then slowly add the whisked matcha. Gently stir.

5. Steam the Milk
Heat your milk and froth it with a frother or whisk. Pour over the matcha-jasmine mixture.

6. Optional Aesthetic Touch
Top with dried jasmine flowers, edible rose petals, or a dusting of matcha for that café-style look.

✨ Tips & Variations:

• Make it iced by using cold jasmine tea, cold milk, and adding ice at the end.

• Use a vanilla bean or lavender syrup to change the vibe.

• Try coconut milk for a tropical twist that enhances the floral tones.

Why It Works:

Jasmine tea’s naturally sweet floral aroma complements matcha’s umami richness beautifully. The result? A layered, soothing drink that feels both energizing and grounding.
