Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Milk. Whole milk, 2%, almond milk, and coconut milk are my top recommendations.
- Matcha powder. Use an organic matcha powder for the best results, I always use this matcha powder and love it.
- Vanilla extract. I love the flavor this adds to matcha lattes, you can omit it if you prefer.
- Honey. granulated sugar, simple syrup or maple syrup are all great substitutes.
