Here’s how you make it
- First, make your almond milk. Mix the almond flour and hot water with a teaspoon until you have a smooth, creamy consistency, and all the almond flour has dissolved.
- Add matcha powder and vanilla to a bowl, along with 1 tbsp of the warm almond milk. Blend with a bamboo whisk until matcha is completely dissolved.
- Add the rest of the warm almond milk and mix well.
- Add lemon peels to a serving matcha bowl and pour over the latte. Leave for at least 5 minutes to infuse.
Note: If you don’t have a bamboo whisk, you could use an electric coffee frother. Alternatively, add all the ingredients except for the lemon peels into a blender and blend for 10 seconds. Pour into a serving bowl and add the lemon peels. Leave for 5 minutes to infuse.
