About this dish
Matcha duyu latte is a vegan drink that pairs whisked matcha with gently warmed unsweetened soy milk.

The tea's vegetal bitterness meets the soy milk's natural nuttiness in a creamy balance, anchored by acacia honey and a pinch of salt that clarify both flavors. A small measure of vanilla extract adds a background sweetness, and roasted soybean powder dusted on top reinforces the nutty character. Heating the soy milk only until tiny bubbles appear at the edges prevents any off-flavors from developing.

Instructions
Read the steps as a cooking flow: prep, heat, seasoning, doneness control, and finish.
- 1Control
Place 8g matcha powder in a small bowl and add 40ml water around 80C in two additions.
Whisk with a bamboo whisk or frother until no dry lumps remain and a fine foam covers the surface.
- 2Control
Pour 500ml unsweetened soy milk into a saucepan and set it over low heat.
Stir for about 3 minutes, and when tiny bubbles and steam appear at the edges, lower the heat before it reaches a boil.
- 3Control
Add 24g acacia honey, 1g salt, and 2ml vanilla extract to the warmed soy milk.
Stir over low heat for 30 seconds, making sure the honey dissolves fully and nothing settles on the bottom.
- 4Season
Slowly pour the matcha mixture down the side of the saucepan while stirring constantly.
When the dark green streaks disappear and the latte turns evenly pale green, warm it for only 1 more minute.
- 5Step
If large bubbles rise on the surface, turn off the heat and stir gently for 10 seconds to smooth the texture.
Check the bottom of the pan so no matcha paste has settled there.
- 6Finish
Divide the latte into warm cups and sift 8g roasted soybean powder over the tops.
Serve immediately while hot, before the aroma fades and before the powder absorbs too much moisture.
