Do you need any special kitchen gadgets to make this matcha latte?

Making the actual matcha latte is simple. All you need is something to warm up your water in and a milk frother. Ideally, you should use a fine-mesh strainer to sift your matcha and a matcha whisk to mix it well with the water. I always sift mine but I don't own the whisk so I just use a handheld milk frother which you'll later use for the milk too.

Does matcha contain caffeine?

1 teaspoon of matcha powder has approximately 65mg of caffeine. Matcha at Starbucks will have less because they mix it with sugar.

Does matcha give you the same caffeine crash as coffee?

For me personally, it doesn't. I feel much better after drinking matcha than I do coffee. I still drink both but the caffeine in matcha tend to be easier to tolerate and digest by a lot of people.

Can I use storebought raspberry syrup?

Totally! I think Monin sells one.

Can I use different berries?

Yes, you can use any berries you like. This drink can be easily adapted to whatever you have and the berries can be both fresh or frozen.

Instructions

Sift matcha powder through a small fine mesh strainer into a bowl or a mug. This step is optional but helps to make the matcha smoother.
Bring your water to a soft simmer, don’t boil it. See notes for extra tips.
Add a couple tablespoons of the hot water to the matcha and use a matcha whisk (or a milk frother if necessary) to mix it together.
Pour in the rest of the water and set aside.
Froth your milk in a milk frother or in a tall glass using a handheld milk frother. Add a handful of ice.
Add the raspberry syrup and warm matcha to the milk and stir to cool down.
Serve garnished with fresh raspberries and a straw if desired.

Notes

Raspberry syrup: The exact more detailed recipe is linked above in the ingredient list. To make it, you need 1 1/2 cup water, 2 cups raspberries, 1 cup maple syrup or cane sugar, and 2 tsp vanilla. Simmer everything for 15-20 minutes and strain into a jar. If you want to make a quick version without cooking, mash a few raspberries with a teaspoon of maple syrup at the bottom of your glass. The seeds will stay in the drink but it will still be delicious!
