You know you’ve stayed at Starbucks for too long when your hair starts to smell like coffee beans. Don’t get me wrong, some people actually enjoy that scent in their scalp, but I’m not a big fan of coffee. I would actually prefer smelling like green tea. I looooove everything green tea, so when I go to Starbucks, I usually get their green tea latte. It’s my absolute favorite!
I’ve made this drink several times, adjusting here and there to match the original. I think this is pretty close.
Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1 cup soymilk
1 teabag of green tea
1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
2 tbsp of sugar or agave nectar (to taste!)
1 dash of vanilla extract
Whipped cream (not optional)
Instructions
1. In a saucepan, heat water and sugar on low-medium. When sugar is dissolved, put the tea bag in and let it steep for a couple of minutes. Remove tea bag.
2. Sift (optional) the matcha powder into the saucepan and whisk until fairly dissolved.
3. Add soy milk and vanilla extract and continue whisking.
4. When milk starts foaming, turn off heat and transfer to a glass jar. Refrigerate until cool. Serve cold WITH whipped cream.
DO NOT dust with matcha powder like I did, unless you like bitter whipped cream. I did it mostly for aesthetic purposes. 
It pairs well with cookie-brownies (as seen in the pictures).
Enjoy!
