Why This Latte Works

Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 2 tablespoons Syruvia Pistachio Latte Syrup (sugar-free or pure cane)
- 1 teaspoon premium matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling)
- ¾ cup milk of choice (whole, oat, almond, or soy)
- Ice cubes (for an iced version)
- Whipped cream or crushed pistachios (optional garnish)
How to Make It
1. Prepare the Matcha
In a small bowl, sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder to remove clumps. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or small frother until it becomes smooth and frothy. This step helps dissolve the powder fully for a silky consistency.
2. Sweeten the Base
Add 2 tablespoons of Syruvia Pistachio Latte Syrup to a glass or mug. This will infuse the drink with rich pistachio sweetness, giving the latte its signature taste.
3. Add the Milk
Warm the milk gently on the stove or microwave. Froth it using a milk frother or whisk until foamy. Pour the frothed milk into the glass with the pistachio syrup. For an iced version, simply pour cold milk over ice.
4. Finish with Matcha
Gently pour the whisked matcha over the milk layer. This creates a beautiful layered look and blends slowly into the pistachio milk as you stir.
5. Top It Off (Optional)
Add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for texture and presentation.
Enjoy Your Sip
This pistachio matcha latte is not only a flavor-rich treat, but also a nourishing way to enjoy your matcha. Its creamy texture and subtle sweetness make it an indulgent yet wholesome choice for any time of day.
