- It’s super versatile. Feel free to add various sweeteners to the latte or whipped cream! For example, you can make a honey matcha or maple syrup matcha. Instead of a matcha whipped cream, you can do a strawberry whipped cream.

Ingredients
To make a matcha einspanner from scratch, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- For the matcha base, mix culinary grade matcha powder and water. Ceremonial matcha is best enjoyed as a simple tea (and is much more expensive!)
- The matcha mixture is best enjoyed with plant-based milk. This is because dairy milk has proteins that interfere with absorbing the antioxidants of the matcha! Oat milk is my favorite because of how light and creamy it is.
- You can use any sweetener you prefer, such as granulated sugar, brown sugar syrup, honey, etc.
- The topping is a simple matcha whipped cream, made of heavy cream, powdered sugar, matcha powder, and vanilla (optional).
For the full list of ingredients and measurements, see the recipe card below.
How to Make A Matcha Einspanner

Step 2: In your matcha bowl, whisk matcha and hot water until combined, then stir in sweetener. Transfer to your serving cup and add milk. Top with matcha whipped cream. Optionally dust with extra matcha powder and enjoy!
