Preparation Steps
- Prepare the matcha base: Sift 2g ceremonial matcha into a small bowl. Add 30ml of 175°F water and whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk until frothy and smooth.
- Extract the espresso: Grind 18g of coffee beans to fine consistency. Extract a double shot (36ml) in 25-28 seconds using 9 bars of pressure.
- Steam the coconut milk: Pour coconut milk into steaming pitcher. Add coconut sugar and vanilla. Steam to 150°F, creating microfoam with a glossy, paint-like texture.
- Combine elements: Pour the prepared matcha into the bottom of a 8oz cup. Slowly add the hot espresso over a spoon to create a layer.
- Finish the latte: Pour the steamed coconut milk, holding back foam initially, then spooning foam on top to create latte art if desired.
