    Pour 30 ml of cold milk into the bowl containing the matcha powder.
  6. Whisk the matcha and milk:
    Whisk the mixture vigorously, forming an infinity sign, for about a minute.     This will create a smooth, slightly frothy texture.
  7. Add sugar (optional):
    If you like a touch of sweetness, add 2 to 5g of sugar syrup to taste.     Mix well.
  8. Assemble your matcha latte:
    Fill a glass with ice cubes and add 120 ml of cold milk . Carefully pour the matcha mixture over the top to create a layered effect.
