Grab a mason jar and your favorite metal straw [1], because there's one more recipe you need to add to your aesthetic drink repertoire ASAP. Joining whipped coffee [2] and whipped chocolate [3] drinks, TikTok's newest drink of choice is a whipped matcha latte [4] poured over ice, and the seafoam green is so pretty! So, yes, it's time to go full-on barista in your kitchen. Here's how it's made:
- Bring 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar to a simmer, then reduce to low heat. Cover the mixture and let it sit for 2-3 minutes.
- Beat together 2 egg whites until thick and frothy using a hand mixer or whisk.
- Slowly pour the water and sugar mixture into the egg whites while hot and whisk them together. Then add 3 tablespoons of matcha powder and combine until fully incorporated.
- In a glass, add ice and your choice of milk before topping with a few spoonfuls of the creamy whipped matcha. Stir with a straw to combine, and enjoy!
If you're looking to make a vegan-friendly version of the drink, many TikTok users have also put their own twist on the whipped matcha latte by omitting the egg whites and creating a thick syrup out of water, sugar, and matcha powder. Keep scrolling to take a look at a few different versions of the Instagram-worthy drink ahead, then take a few minutes to try it for yourself.
