Homemade Matcha Latte

When I asked my guest, Victoria Banks, to choose a recipe to pair with Episode 07, she suggested a homemade matcha latte.

Even though matcha has been a buzzy trend in the food world for a while now, I’ll be honest, I just never jumped on the train. No reason in particular. I just never ordered it or knew much about the green powder.

So, I was pleasantly surprised when Victoria made this warm, cozy, frothy deliciousness for us to enjoy while we chatted about all things music, mom life and overcoming perfectionism in Episode 07.

Whip you up this nourishes mug of tea and check out my conversation with Grammy nominated hit songwriter, Victoria Banks. The recipe card is below, and a link to Victoria’s episode is available if you keep scrolling down!
