Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend Mix of Stevia Sweetener and Cane Sugar
- 1/2 cup Cranberry Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend Mix of Stevia Sweetener and Cane Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Matcha Powder
- 2 teaspoons Water
- 1 cup 1% Low Fat Milk
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-Free Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry juice and 1 tablespoon of Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend. Stir constantly as the mixture heats up.
- Step 2: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and continue stirring until the sweetener dissolves completely. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and refrigerate until fully cooled, about 15-20 minutes.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and hot water until smooth and frothy. Add 1/2 teaspoon of Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend and whisk again until dissolved.
- Step 4: Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in the low-fat milk, then gently add the matcha mixture on top.
- Step 5: Whisk the cooled cranberry syrup and sugar-free whipped cream together until light and foamy. Spoon or pour this cranberry cold foam over the iced matcha latte and serve immediately.
Tips & Variations
- Use almond or oat milk as a dairy-free alternative for a different flavor and texture.
- For a sweeter latte, add more sweetener to taste when whisking the matcha.
- If you prefer a stronger matcha flavor, increase the matcha powder up to 1.5 teaspoons.
- Chill the serving glass in advance to keep your latte colder longer.
Storage
Store any leftover cranberry syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Prepare the latte fresh for best flavor and texture. The matcha latte with foam is best consumed immediately, but you can refrigerate it briefly and stir well before drinking if needed.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of Truvia®?
Yes, you can substitute regular sugar in equal amounts, adjusting to your preferred sweetness level.
What if I don’t have matcha powder?
Matcha powder is essential for the authentic flavor, but you could try green tea powder or brewed strong green tea as a mild alternative, though the taste and frothiness will be different.
