Why You'll Love This Recipe
If you're a fan of the Trader Joe's carrot cake spread, you know how addictive that spiced, sweet flavor is. By whipping it with a bit of heavy cream, you create a "cold foam" style topper that slowly bleeds into the matcha, creating a beautiful marble effect and a flavor profile that tastes just like a liquid carrot cake.
Tips for the Perfect Matcha Latte
- Sift your matcha: To avoid clumps, always sift your matcha powder before whisking.
- Water temperature: Use hot (80°C/175°F) but not boiling water to prevent the matcha from tasting bitter.
- Sweetener: Agave works great, but maple syrup or a simple cinnamon syrup would also complement the carrot cake flavors perfectly.
