Notes
Milk Frother: You can use an electric frother, like an Aeroccino, or a handheld milk frother, like this one.
Best Matcha to Use: I recommend using ceremonial-grade matcha. My favorite is Pique. Use code JEAN5 for 5% off your order.
Iced Matcha: If you want to turn this hot chocolate matcha latte into an iced one, simply follow steps 1 and 2. Once combined, pour over a glass filled with ice and fill the rest of the glass with cold almond milk.
