Notes
- To prevent a gritty texture, sift your matcha powder before whisking with hot water.
- Store leftover latte in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but expect some separation; stir well before serving.
- For an extra touch, garnish with a dusting of matcha powder on top of the whipped cream.
- If you prefer a sweeter latte, make a brown sugar simple syrup instead of dissolving it directly.
