Last weekend I posted a photo on my Instagram, my two boxes of Green Tea Latte! If you can only hear my mind screaming while at the grocery store when I was actually looking for Black Tea and spotted that box of Green Tea Latte (powder)! I’ve been hunting this for years (okay, I’m exaggerating), but seriously been looking for this magical powder ever since I knew it exists!
There were only 3 boxes left. At first I got one box, then I returned to the shelves and got another one. I left one box to a lucky shopper *haha*. I hope they’ll have new stocks by next week! It’s P166.00/box and it contains 10 sachets of green tea goodness!
Here I’ll share with you a simple recipe on how I like my Green Tea Latte.
You’ll need:
1. Green Tea Powder (better if Matcha!)
2. Milk (can be skimmed or low-fat, depends on your preference)
3. Honey or any healthy sweetener
4. Mug or Jar
5. Paper straw (optional)
6. Ice (optional)
One sachet makes one cup/mug. You can use two sachets, depends on you!
1. Pour Green Tea Latte Powder into the cup.
2. Pour a little amount of hot water to dissolve the powder well. You can use a mini electric mixer if you want.
3. Mix the powder and hot water really well.
4. Add milk. I’ve tried both (with / without milk), and for me it tastes better with milk.
5. Add honey or any kind of sweetener you prefer. For honey, I suggest you add it first before milk specially you’ll be using cold milk. It’s hard to dissolve/mix honey with cool liquids.
6. Add ice and some green tea latte powder on top (optional).
Tada! Enjoy your ala Starbucks Green Tea Latte! I am to compute how much I spent for a glass, it’s roughly 30 to 40 pesos, which is a quarter of what you pay for a Tall Green Tea Latte in a cafe. You can add whipped cream on top too, but still it’ll cost you below P100, definitely.
Let me know if you’ve tried this too or you have your personal recipe! Would love to give it a try!
PS. Does anyone here know when I can purchase Green Tea Latte or Matcha Powder? I’m afraid it may no longer be available in the grocery when I go back next week! *cries*
