Accidentally genius? You bet. Your new favorite latte is here.
You know those moments when you try something new and your taste buds throw a party? That’s exactly what happened here. My daily matcha, sweetened with a touch of maple syrup, got a sprinkle of sea salt one day—cue the bulging-eye “aha” moment. It tasted just like salted caramel but without all the junk. No cane sugar overload, no mystery ingredients—just smooth, clean matcha magic.
So naturally, I ran with it. I even whipped up a drool-worthy vegan and refined sugar-free caramel sauce to take this latte over the top. You’re welcome. 🍵✨
Ingredients
For the latte:
- 3/4 cup plant milk (oat, almond, or coconut work beautifully!)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1–2 tsp pure maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)
-
1/2 tsp Matcha Nude
- 1/8 tsp coarse sea salt (plus extra for topping)
For the caramel sauce (optional but highly recommended):
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup coconut cream
Directions
For the latte:
In a warming milk frother or small saucepan, combine the plant milk, water, maple syrup, matcha, and sea salt.
Heat over medium-low until warm and frothy, whisking well to dissolve the matcha. (Pro tip: sift the matcha first for extra smoothness!)
Pour into your favorite mug, sprinkle with an extra pinch of sea salt, and sip your way into salted caramel bliss.
For the caramel sauce:
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut sugar and coconut cream over medium heat, stirring until it comes to a boil.
Lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and turns glossy.
Let it cool for about 10 minutes to thicken further. Drizzle over your matcha latte, or honestly, anything you want—this sauce is that good.
