Introduction
Everyday matcha meets premium botanical luxury.
Our Almond Milk Matcha Latte begins with accessible culinary powder: smooth, nutty, and full-flavored. But the true premium moment arrives with a sprinkle of Matcha Sal , carrying ceremonial-grade depth, herbal-sweet vanilla, and sparkling crunch.
A drizzle of Florale No 1 honey softens the sip, while crushed pistachio adds texture and visual elegance.
Vegan, low-carb, and layered in taste:the latte that feels as mindful as a morning ritual should.
Ingredients
1 tsp culinary-grade matcha powder: rich in flavor, cost-effective for daily use
Optional premium upgrade : ceremonial-grade matcha for a smoother, sweeter sip
2 Tbsp warm water (~80 °C)
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (barista-style for best froth)
⅛ tsp MATCHA SAL (ceremonial matcha + vanilla + strawberry crunch + sea salt)
1 Tbsp crushed pistachios
Optional: 1 tsp Florale No 1 honey (adds delicate floral sweetness)
Directions
Whisk matcha
Sift culinary-grade matcha into a bowl. Add warm water and whisk in a brisk 'W' motion until frothy. (Ceremonial upgrade works similarly and the Matcha Sal adds ceremonial matcha depth anyway.)
Froth almond milk
Heat almond milk to 60–65 °C. Froth with a handheld frother or whisk until velvety.
Combine & sweeten
Pour frothed milk over matcha. Stir in honey if desired.
Garnish
Sprinkle Matcha Sal to add botanical shimmer, herbal bitterness, vanilla warmth, and strawberry-sweet crunch.
Top with crushed pistachio for texture and visual contrast.
Finish with Matcha Sal
Transfer nuts to a serving bowl. From height, sprinkle Matcha Sal evenly so the vibrant green powder, vanilla nuance, strawberry sweetness, and salt adhere to the honey glaze.
Serve
Present in a glass or latte bowl and sip slowly to savor layered aromas and sensations.
Why It Works
Culinary-grade matcha offers a bold, astringent flavor that shines through creamy almond milk and froth without needing expensive ceremonial powder.
Matcha Sal bridges the gap: each sprinkle delivers ceremonial-grade matcha, ergonomic vanilla warmth, subtle strawberry crunch, and sea-salt bursts:offering full premium taste with everyday ingredients.
Salt enhances the matcha’s herbal sweetness and suppresses bitterness , creating a smoother, more layered sip.
Almond milk , especially barista-style, provides the ideal low-carb creamy canvas. Its smooth protein foams without overpowering the green tea’s vegetal notes.
Florale No 1 honey (optional) adds delicate floral sweetness, balancing matcha’s vegetal edge and enriching the latte’s aroma.
Crushed pistachios introduce contrasting texture and color, tying into the botanical theme and elevating a simple latte into a refined sensory moment.
Serving Suggestions:
Latte art & layers : Pour the frothed almond milk gently over the matcha base to create a soft foam cap. Dust with a light swirl of Matcha Sal for visual elegance—just enough to catch the light and hint at herbal flavor
Optional iced version : Serve over ice in warm months; the Matcha Sal will gently dissolve, offering subtle salty umami with each sip .
Floral-acid accent : Garnish with a single edible flower petal—rose or pansy—floating on the foam for an elegant final flourish.
Pairing : Offer alongside a crisp botanical snack—like Rose & Pistachio Shortbread —to complement the latte’s green notes and layer flavor beautifully.
