Banana Matcha Latte

This thick and creamy banana layer is the secret to the perfect banana matcha latte! 🍌💚 Made with banana, heavy cream, milk, and a touch of sugar, it’s spoonable, rich, and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• 3g matcha powder
• 50g hot water (around 170°F)
• 5oz milk
• 2 bananas
• 8oz heavy cream
• 2.5 tbsp sugar
• Optional: agave syrup to sweeten

Instructions

1. Prep the Matcha

1. Pre-soak your bamboo whisk in hot water to soften and bloom.
2. In a matcha bowl, combine 3g matcha and 50g hot water. Whisk the matcha in an “M” or “W” motion until frothy.

2. Make the Banana Purée

1. In a blender, combine bananas, heavy cream, 2oz milk, and sugar
2. Use the pulse button: press, release, repeat 10 times.
   • ⚠️ Avoid over-blending—it will turn too liquidy and lose its thick, spoonable texture.

3. Assemble the Latte

1. Fill a cup with ice.
2. Pour in 3oz milk. If using, add agave and mix.
3. Slowly pour the matcha over the milk using a spoon to create a layered effect.
4. Add 4–5 heaping spoons of banana purée on top.
5. Optional: swirl gently or enjoy layered!

Why use a spoon when pouring matcha over milk:
Pouring the whisked matcha over a spoon (rather than directly into the cup) slows down the liquid and softens the impact on the milk layer. This helps create a beautiful, layered effect instead of the matcha sinking or mixing too quickly. It’s a simple trick to make your latte look more aesthetic and professional.

Now that you know how to make this thick, creamy banana layer, you can easily elevate your matcha lattes at home. Spoon it, layer it, and enjoy a café-quality treat anytime—because the best lattes start with the perfect banana base!
