The lid of my Brita Marella keeps moving, how do I fix it?
Press the lid down all the way around until it clicks, and check that the cartridge is pushed fully into the funnel.
Is matcha the same as coffee?
No, matcha is not coffee. Matcha is finely ground green tea from Japan, while coffee is made from roasted coffee beans. Both contain caffeine, but the caffeine in matcha is released more gradually. This gives a calm energy boost without the peaks and crashes coffee sometimes causes.
Which milk is best to use?
For a creamy matcha latte, milk with some fat content works best, such as whole cow's milk or a rich plant-based option. Oat milk is popular because it's naturally creamy and froths well. Almond and soy milk also work well, as long as you watch the fat content: low-fat versions froth less firmly and let the matcha flavour come through less.
How many calories are in a matcha latte?
Pure matcha contains almost no calories: 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams) provides only around 5 to 6 kcal. Most of the calories in a matcha latte therefore come from the milk and any sweetener. With the amounts in this recipe (150 ml milk, 1 teaspoon matcha), you reach about 25 to 40 kcal with almond milk, 60 to 75 kcal with oat milk, 55 to 80 kcal with soy milk, 70 to 80 kcal with semi-skimmed cow's milk and 90 to 95 kcal with whole cow's milk. If you add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup, that adds about another 20 kcal. These are averages; the exact number of calories varies by brand and variety, so for a precise figure always check the label of your milk.
Will my iced matcha latte get watery?
That can happen if the ice melts too quickly, for example with small ice cubes or in a warm environment. Use large ice cubes or, even better, matcha ice cubes, so the flavour doesn't dilute while you drink.
Can I make an iced matcha latte in advance?
You can make the matcha shot in advance and keep it covered in the fridge for up to a day. Only add the ice and milk just before serving, otherwise the drink gets watery too quickly.
What is the difference between an iced matcha latte and a matcha frappé?
An iced matcha latte consists of matcha, cold milk and ice cubes, poured in layers. A matcha frappé is blended, often with extra ice, giving you a thicker, sorbet-like texture instead of a clear layered drink.
How much caffeine is in a matcha latte?
An average cup of matcha, made with 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, contains about 30 to 70 mg of caffeine. This is usually slightly less than a cup of filter coffee.
Can I drink matcha latte every day?
For most healthy adults, a cup of matcha a day as part of a varied diet is no problem. With several cups a day, keep an eye on your total caffeine intake, including from other sources such as coffee or tea.
