How Do You Make This Matcha Latte Oat Milk Recipe?
It’s quick and easy to make an oat milk matcha latte at home! Here’s what you’ll need to make your own matcha latte at home:
- Matcha powder (pick a high-quality matcha powder)
- Oat milk (ideally barista-style or full-fat oat milk)
- Maple syrup (you can sub for agave syrup if you prefer)
- A matcha bamboo whisk
OAT MILK TIP: Pick a barista-style oat milk if it’s available in your local store. Barista oat milks tend to be creamier and more stable when exposed to heat.
OTHER NON-DAIRY MILKS: You can switch out the oat milk for another plant milk of your choice. We like oat milk as it has a neutral flavour and tends to be naturally sweet but you can try another type of milk. Soy milk is another good option for a creamy matcha latte, as are cashew milk, coconut milk and almond milk, although these will all impart a different flavour into your green tea latte.

What are the benefits of matcha?
Let’s explore the potential health benefits of matcha. Matcha is a green tea powder made from ground green tea leaves. As well as providing a more gentle energy boost, matcha green tea is believed to be rich in natural antioxidants, which may help to prevent cell damage.
It is also believed that matcha may help to protect the liver and prevent cancer, enhance brain function, promote heart health and enhance weight loss (source). Wow!
