Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder
  
  

• 2 teaspoons raw honey (or maple syrup for a vegan kick)
  
  

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper (adds a subtle “octane boost”)
  
  

• ¾ cup steamed oat milk (or your milk of choice)
  
  

• ¼ cup hot water (not boiling, ~175°F / 80°C)
  
  

Instructions

1. Whisk the Matcha: In a bowl, sift the matcha powder. Add hot water and whisk in a zig-zag motion until smooth and frothy.
   
   

2. Add Flavor Power: Stir in honey, vanilla, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. This turns your latte from mellow green to wild energy fuel.
   
   

3. Steam & Pour: Froth or steam the oat milk until silky. Slowly pour it over the whisked matcha mixture.
   
   

4. Finish Strong: Dust the top with a micro-sprinkle of matcha powder—or if you’re bold, another light pinch of cayenne.
