Apricot Matcha Latte

Fresh ripe apricots can complement the earthy flavors of matcha quite well. Here’s a recipe for an Apricot Matcha Latte that you can enjoy with soy milk or any milk of your choice:

Ingredients:

2 fresh ripe apricots
1 teaspoon matcha powder
1 tablespoon hot water
1 cup soy milk/almond milk or milk of choice
Sweetener (optional, to taste)

Instructions:

• Cut the fresh ripe apricots in half, remove the pits, and dice them into small pieces.
• In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with hot water until smooth and frothy.
• In a saucepan, heat the soy milk (or your preferred milk) over medium heat until it starts to steam. Be careful not to let it boil.
• Add the diced apricots to the saucepan and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the apricots soften slightly. (You can also skip the heating step and directly blend apricots with milk of your choice.)
• Pour the warm milk and apricots into a blender or use a handheld blender to blend until smooth and frothy.
• In a mug, pour the matcha mixture from the small bowl. Slowly pour the frothy apricot milk over the matcha, creating a layered effect if desired.
• Taste the latte and add sweetener if desired. You can use honey, agave syrup, or your preferred sweetener.
• Stir gently to combine the matcha and apricot flavors.

Your Apricot Matcha Latte is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it hot or cold and savor the delightful combination of apricot and matcha flavors.

Remember, you can always adjust the quantities and sweetness according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your refreshing and nourishing Apricot Matcha Latte!
