# Tips from hearthlykitchen:
01 -
- The earthy calm of matcha meets oat milks natural creaminess in a way that feels like a gentle hug
- Ten minutes from start to finish means you can have cafe quality without leaving your kitchen
02 -
- Water temperature matters more than you think. Boiling water makes matcha bitter and dulls that beautiful bright green color.
- The whisking motion is everything. A rapid back and forth motion incorporates air and creates that signature frothy layer.
03 -
- Invest in a bamboo whisk called a chasen if you plan to make this regularly. It creates froth that electric whisks simply cannot match.
- Warm your mug with hot water before making the latte. This keeps your drink hotter longer and makes the experience feel more special.
