White Mocha Matcha Latte Recipe

A creamy, decadent twist on your classic matcha latte, the White Mocha Matcha Latte combines the earthy richness of matcha with the sweet, velvety notes of white chocolate. This drink is both a morning pick-me-up and a dessert in a cup.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk of your choice (oat, almond, or regular milk all work beautifully)
• 2g Shirogane KIE Matcha
• Melted White Chocolate
• 1 tbsp hot water
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• Matcha powder (for dusting)

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 1 tablespoon of hot water until smooth and frothy. Set aside.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and white chocolate together, stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is creamy.
3. Pour the melted white chocolate milk into a cup, then slowly add the whisked matcha. Stir to combine.
4. Optional: Top with whipped cream and a light dusting of matcha powder for an extra touch of indulgence.
5. Sip, savor, and enjoy your white mocha matcha latte with a smile.

Matcha Banana Pancakes Recipe

Soft, fluffy, and bursting with flavor, these Matcha Banana Pancakes are the ultimate breakfast treat. Packed with the goodness of ripe bananas and the subtle umami of matcha, they pair perfectly with your White Mocha Matcha Latte.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
• 1 tbsp matcha powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 egg (or flax egg for a vegan option)
• 3/4 cup milk of your choice
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Butter or oil, for cooking
• Fresh banana slices, matcha powder, and syrup for topping

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed banana, egg, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
6. Stack your pancakes, top with fresh banana slices, a drizzle of syrup, and a light dusting of matcha powder for a stunning presentation.
