Bone Broth Matcha Latte: Creamy, Savory, and Unexpected
Sweet, earthy matcha meets a quietly savory backbone in this unexpected latte. Bone broth adds warmth and depth, while full-fat coconut milk and a touch of vanilla keep everything smooth and creamy. The result is grounding, gently energizing, and just unusual enough to feel special - an easy ritual for a slow afternoon.
Makes one 8-oz beverage.
Ingredients
- 6 oz Reclamation Grass-Fed Beef Bone Broth
- ½ tsp high-quality matcha
- 2 oz full-fat coconut milk (canned, with minimal ingredients)
- Dash of vanilla extract (about ⅛ tsp or ~6 drops)
- Raw honey or maple syrup, to taste
Method
- Warm the bone broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming, or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- Sift the matcha into a mug using a fine strainer to prevent clumps.
- Pour just enough hot broth over the matcha to cover it, then whisk until smooth and vibrant.
- Add coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener of choice. Use a handheld frother if available, or whisk vigorously until well combined and lightly foamy.
- Top up with the remaining broth. Sip slowly for a creamy, earthy matcha latte that's unexpectedly good.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does bone broth make the matcha taste savory?
Not overtly. The matcha remains earthy and slightly sweet, while the bone broth adds warmth and depth in the background. It creates body rather than a strong savory flavor.
Can you taste the bone broth?
You won’t taste it as "broth." It blends into the coconut milk and vanilla, rounding out the matcha instead of competing with it.
Is this like a traditional matcha latte?
It's quite different from a typical matcha latte, which leans sweet and milky. This version is more grounding and gently savory, with a richer, fuller texture.
Can I use a different milk?
Yes. While full-fat coconut milk creates the creamiest texture, you can use almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk depending on your preference.
Does this contain caffeine?
Yes. Matcha naturally contains caffeine, making this a gently energizing drink that works well in the morning or as a slow afternoon ritual.
Is this drink sweet?
It can be as sweet as you like. Raw honey or maple syrup adds subtle sweetness, but you can adjust or omit it entirely.
When is the best time to drink this?
It works well as a morning alternative to coffee or as a slow afternoon reset. It's grounding, gently energizing, and just unusual enough to feel special.
