Method

  1. Sift 2g of matcha into a bowl.

  2. Add 60ml of water at 75 degrees Celsius and whisk for 20 seconds.

  3. Steam 200ml of whole milk to a smooth microfoam at about 60 degrees Celsius.

  4. Pour the matcha into a 350ml mug.

  5. Pour the milk in a slow stream to combine cleanly.

A good cafe latte lets the matcha lead. No syrup is needed when both ingredients are quality.Almanac note

Made it?

Keep the ratio that worked

The journal keeps this bowl (grams, water, temperature, and how it actually tasted) on this device, so the next one starts from what worked. It builds a 13-week heatmap as you go, and it is free and unlimited. Premium adds the tin cellar, so each bowl is costed against the tin you actually poured it from.
