Ingredients Needed

½ to 1 tsp matcha powder: choose high quality, low bitterness

¼ cup coconut milk (unsweetened): creamy and non-acidic
1 tsp maple syrup or stevia (optional): reflux-safe sweetener

How To Make Low Acid Matcha Latte

Sift the Matcha:
Place your matcha through a small sifter into a large mug to remove lumps.

Whisk with Warm Water:
Add warm (not boiling) water to the mug. Use a bamboo whisk or milk frother to whisk briskly in a zigzag or up-and-down motion until frothy—about 30 seconds.

Add the Coconut Milk:
Pour in the warmed coconut milk and whisk again until smooth and creamy.

Taste and Adjust:
Add more water, milk, or a touch of reflux-safe sweetener to your liking. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips

Use unsweetened coconut milk to avoid added sugars or acid
Warm water only—boiling water makes matcha bitter and harder to digest
Whisk well for the best frothy texture
Choose ceremonial grade matcha for a smoother, less acidic flavor
Add ice and skip heating for a chilled version

How to Store & Reheat

Room Temperature: Drink within 30 minutes
Fridge: Not ideal for storage—fresh is best
