Method 1: Use a matcha bamboo whisk + a matcha bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp or 2 bamboo scoops of Encha Latte-Grade Pure Organic Matcha
  (Latte-grade Encha provides the perfect balance of smooth texture and savory matcha taste to mix with almond or other non-dairy milk. Encha is not bitter. So you can go light on sweetener.) 
• 6-8 oz (3/4 - 1 cup) of organic milk (almond, coconut, cashew nut, soy...milk):
  (Make your own nut milk using a nutbag or we recommend Whole Foods' 365 Organic Unsweetened Almond Milk which doesn't contain carrageenan) 
• Optional: organic natural sweetener (agave, maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar...)

Instructions: 

1. Heat the milk to be warm and under boiling (skip this step if you like it cold)
2. Pour the almond milk to your matcha bowl (add your choice of sweetener if desired)
3. Add Encha Organic Matcha powder to the milk
4. Whisk for 30 seconds in a straight "I" line back and forth very FAST to stir up a wave.
   Tip: Hold the bamboo whisk vertically from the top; Shake your wrist but keep your arm still to get the speed and ease; Do not scratch the bottom the bowl, Suspend the whisk. Have fun:-)
5. After you see a bowl-ful matcha latte wave, progressively slow down to achieve the level of froth you desire. 
6. If it is difficult to whisk in thick milk, whisk your Encha powder in 2-3 oz hot water first. Then add 6 oz milk and whisk further. 

Method 2: Use a blender to froth matcha latte

Instructions: 

1. Heat the milk to be warm and under boiling (skip this step if you like it cold)
2. Pour the almond milk to your blender (add other goodies you like: dates, vanilla...)
3. Add Encha Organic Matcha Powder to the blender
4. Blend in low mode for 10-15 seconds until smooth and frothy.

Method 3: Use a handheld milk frother

Instructions:

2. Stir: First, stir the matcha powder with your handheld frother to spread the powder.
3. Immerse: Immerse the frother head deep in the mug without touching the bottom. This will prevent splashing.
4. Froth: Turn on the frother, holding the cup at 15-degree angle.
5. Turn off the frother a couple of times to stir the clumps around the cup.
6. The longer you froth, the larger the bubbles. the more volume the latte has.
