Which milk to choose for your matcha lattes?
Matcha, that precious green tea powder, is increasingly appreciated for its benefits and unique taste. When combined with milk for a latte, the choice of milk can make all the difference. Discover the best plant-based options for preparing your latte with Original, Vanilla matcha or even our Culinary matchaideal for gourmet creations.
Plant milks
Oat milk
Oat milk is a TSUKI favorite. Its sweetness and neutrality enhance the delicate flavor of our TSUKI OriginalOriginal, while adding a smooth, creamy texture to your latte. Whether for a peaceful morning or a well-deserved break, this combination offers perfect harmony.
Rice milk
Rice milk comes second in our preferences. Less creamy than oat milk, it seduces us with its natural sweetness and slightly sweet taste, without altering the delicate matcha aromas. Try it with TSUKI Vanilla for a light, full-flavoured drink, or with TSUKI Original to fully appreciate the nuances of this exceptional tea.
Almond milk
Light and subtly sweet, almond milk pairs well with our Vanilla matcha, adding a gourmet touch to every sip. Although its nutty flavor can be dominant, it remains an excellent option for lovers of sweet, refined nuances.
Soy milk
With its protein content and creamy texture, soy milk is a nutritious option. It goes well with our Culinary matcha, especially in recipes such as smoothies or spiced lattes. Its distinct taste, however, may not suit those seeking a pure matcha experience.
Coconut milk
For an exotic touch, coconut milk is an excellent option, especially with the matcha Culinaire in recipes such as tropical desserts or sweet lattes. Its sweet, rich taste complements creations well, but can mask the purity of matcha.
Pistachio milk
A new trend, pistachio milk is both creamy and delicately sweet. Try it with Vanilla matcha for a unique combination, rich in flavor and nutrients like magnesium and vitamin B6.
Cow's milk
Although commonly used for lattes, cow's milk is less recommended with matcha. Its proteins can interfere with the absorption of catechins, the antioxidants responsible for matcha's benefits, such as its anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidant properties. Opt for a plant-based milk to enjoy the full benefits of TSUKI Original.
Conclusion
The choice of milk for your matcha latte depends on your tastes and the flavors you wish to highlight. At TSUKI Matcha, we particularly recommend oat milk for its perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess.
