📌 Tips for choosing milk for a "standard" Matcha Latte

  • Prioritize milk without sugar to control the sweetness, avoiding losing the refreshing aftertaste of matcha
  • Can be combined 50% fresh milk + 50% plant milk (like oat) also a good tip

What are the fat levels of fresh milk and which one should you choose?

1. Whole milk  about 3.5% fat

  • Create a “high-class” feeling like in a Japanese cafe
  • Helps milk foam last longer and be smoother

👉 This is the most ideal choice to make standard matcha latte

2. Semi-skimmed milk  about 1.5–2% fat

✅ Suitable if you want less fat, lighter on the stomach but still has a slight sweetness

  • The latte will taste lighter, not too strong.
  • Easy to drink for people not used to drinking full fat milk

3. Skim milk  <0.5% fat

❌ Not recommended for matcha latte

  • The taste is bland, thin, difficult to create foam, making matcha lose its "smoothness" and charm.
  • Only suitable if you need to lose weight strictly

📌 Should I add condensed milk to Matcha Latte?

Job should add condensed milk enter matcha latte or not depends on taste you want to aim for. Here's a quick breakdown for you to consider:

When to add condensed milk:

  • You like sweet, fatty, rich taste
  • Use slightly bitter or astringent matcha – condensed milk helps neutral and easier to drink
  • When mixing Iced matcha , condensed milk helps keep the fat, not diluted when the ice melts

When condensed milk is not needed:

  • You are aiming for elegant Japanese matcha flavor , light, less sweet
  • Use whole milk or naturally sweetened plant milk (oat, almond)
  • Want to make a version healthy more, less sugar or use sugar substitute (honey, agave syrup...)
