Classic Matcha Latte: A Morning Ritual of Calm

There’s a reason the classic matcha latte has become my go-to morning drink. It’s more than just a caffeine fix—it’s a ritual. In the quiet of early hours, before the notifications start and the world begins to rush, there’s something grounding about the simple act of whisking matcha.

When I switched from coffee to matcha, I wasn’t just looking for a softer energy—I was craving a more intentional way to start my day. And with the rich, smooth flavor of our Align Ceremonial Matcha 50g, it feels like a small act of care every single time.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon Align Ceremonial Matcha
• 2 ounces hot water (around 175°F / 80°C)
• 6 ounces milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

How to Make It:

Sift the matcha into your mug to avoid clumps.

Add hot water and whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion until frothy and smooth.

Heat your milk, froth if you like, and pour it slowly into the matcha.

Sweeten to taste, stir gently, and take that first quiet sip.

Why I Love It:

It’s simple, soothing, and energizing in a completely different way than coffee. I love using Align Ceremonial Matcha because of its smooth finish and vibrant green hue—it creates a latte that looks beautiful and feels nourishing.
