Tip

When it comes to the recipe’s lactose-free milk, make sure it does not start to boil. This might change both its texture and flavour, giving it a scalded-like flavour. So, keep an eye on it as it heats, making sure to take it off the heat when it starts to steam just before boiling point.

Questions about lactose-free matcha latte

Even if the process of making it is simple, we have still gathered some of the most frequently asked questions to help you. Keep reading below!

What is in a lactose-free matcha latte?
Aside from being filled with a whole lot of deliciousness, a matcha green tea latte contains beautifully green matcha powder, steamed semi-skimmed milk, boiling water, and maple syrup. For a version without lactose, use lactose-free semi-skimmed milk. The flavour and taste stay the same, but now everyone can drink it!
Does a lactose-free matcha latte have caffeine?
Yes, a matcha latte, or tea, does have caffeine, lactose-free or not, although not as much as in a cup of coffee. Matcha is made from finely ground whole green tea leaves, and because you consume the entire leaf, it contains a higher concentration of caffeine compared to regular green tea. If you want to avoid caffeine, consider seeking out caffeine-free matcha powder.
What does a lactose-free matcha latte taste like?
Matcha has a characteristic, delightful, earthy, umami quality that gives it a savoury taste. Its lovely freshness and earthiness are perfectly balanced by the sweetness of maple syrup. Semi-skimmed milk adds a different sweetness – as well as a smooth, creamy consistency that gives the warm beverage a nice mouthfeel. All in all, this latte is stacked with warm flavours that make it a true delight to enjoy.
