If you’ve loved our blueberry and strawberry matcha lattes, this is the latte you should make next. This raspberry matcha latte is slightly tart, but perfectly balanced with earthy matcha. It’s a bright, fruity twist on your daily matcha, and, thankfully, surprisingly easy to make at home.
What we love about this recipe is the homemade raspberry compote- don’t skip it!. It adds a naturally sweet, jammy layer that pairs so well with whatever milk you choose to use. Make this when you need a little boost in the morning or as an afternoon pick-me-up.
Why you’ll love it
This latte hits the perfect balance between tangy and creamy. Add in high-quality matcha powder, and it’s the perfect way to elevate your day.
What type of matcha works best?
For a latte like this, you’ll want a matcha that’s specifically crafted to pair well with milk. Our latte matcha powder is designed for exactly this. It has a slightly bolder, more robust flavor that holds its own against creamy milk and raspberry compote without getting lost.
If you prefer something a bit more delicate, you can still use another ceremonial-grade matcha powder, but for the most balanced, café-style result, latte matcha is your best choice.
Ingredients
For the latte
-
1 tsp matcha powder

6 oz milk of choice

Raspberry compote (recipe below)

Raspberry Compote
-
½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
1 tbsp sugar
-
½ tbsp water
Directions
-
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, lemon juice, sugar, and water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the mixture breaks down and thickens. For a smoother texture, strain the compote to create a syrup. Let it cool before using.

Sift your matcha into a bowl to remove any clumps. Add warm water and whisk until smooth and frothy.

In a glass, add a few spoonfuls of raspberry compote. Fill with ice, then pour in your milk. Top with the prepared matcha.
Enjoy!
Tips & variations
