Matcha Latte

- When smooth, add water until half-full. Stir in a few drops of Sweetbird Vanilla Syrup and honey, if using.
- Next, gently heat and froth the milk in a saucepan on the hob (if you are using a Handheld Milk & Matcha Frother, you can add the milk directly to the tea and then froth for a creamier taste).
