Instructions
- 01
Step 1: Sift the Matcha — Place 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl. Sifting the matcha first helps remove small lumps and gives the finished latte a smoother texture.
- 02
Step 2: Whisk the Matcha — Add 2 tablespoons of warm water to the matcha. Whisk with a bamboo matcha whisk or handheld milk frother until completely mixed and a light layer of foam appears.
- 03
Step 3: Make Pumpkin Coconut Milk — In a glass, jar, or bowl, combine coconut milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk or shake until creamy and pale orange without lumps.
- 04
Step 4: Assemble & Serve — Fill a tall glass three-quarters full with ice. Pour the pumpkin coconut milk over ice, then slowly pour the whisked green matcha over top to create natural layers. Dust with cinnamon and enjoy!
