Matcha latte: The "Golden Ratio" for 230ml

​The "Golden Ratio" for 230ml

​For a standard 8oz cup (roughly 230ml to 240ml), use:

​Matcha: 4g to 5g (about 2 to 2.5 teaspoons)

​Water (for paste): 30ml

​Milk: 200ml

​Why This Works

​Intensity: 4g to 5g of matcha ensures the grassy, umami notes stand up against the creamy sweetness of the milk.

​The Paste: Always whisk your matcha with about 30ml of hot water (80°C) first. This removes clumps and creates a "concentrate" before adding the milk.

​Milk Space: In a 230ml cup, using 200ml of milk leaves just enough room for the matcha concentrate and a thin layer of foam on top
