FAQ for

Lavender Matcha Recipe

What ingredients are used in Lavender Matcha Latte from Starbucks?

The Starbucks-inspired Lavender Matcha Latte uses matcha powder, lavender buds (or syrup), honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk (traditionally almond milk), hot water, ice cubes, and optional toppings like whipped cream and dried lavender buds for garnish.

How to cook Lavender Matcha Latte from Starbucks at home?

Learn how to cook Lavender Matcha Latte from Starbucks by first creating a lavender-infused honey, then whisking matcha powder with hot water until frothy. Combine your milk with vanilla extract and the infused honey, pour over ice, and add the matcha mixture. Top with whipped cream and dried lavender for a café-quality drink at home.

Can I make this matcha latte recipe without the lavender flavour?

Absolutely! You can omit the lavender components for a traditional matcha latte. Simply prepare the matcha with hot water as instructed, then combine with milk, vanilla extract, and your preferred sweetener for a delicious, classic matcha latte experience.

What's the ideal water temperature for preparing matcha powder?

The ideal water temperature for matcha is around 80°C (175°F), not boiling. Water that's too hot can make matcha taste bitter and diminish its delicate flavour profile. If you don't have a thermometer, let boiling water cool for about 2 minutes before using.

How can I ensure my homemade matcha latte doesn't taste bitter?

To prevent bitterness, use high-quality matcha powder, ensure water temperature is around 80°C (not boiling), whisk thoroughly to eliminate clumps, add sufficient sweetener, and consider sifting the matcha before whisking. Fresh matcha stored in an airtight container away from light also helps maintain its sweet notes.
