FAQs
Can I use cold water instead of hot water?
Hot water helps dissolve the matcha powder fully and creates a smooth texture, so it’s best to use hot water. Cold water might leave clumps and affect the taste.
What kind of matcha powder works best?
Use a high-quality culinary or ceremonial grade matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color in your latte.
