Whisked into warm milk a bit at a time, it spreads into an even jade green with no lumps. Condensed milk and honey sweeten it, and if mugwort is new to you, start with a little less powder.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Place 2 tablespoons of mugwort powder in a small bowl.
Add 40ml of lukewarm water little by little, whisking after each addition until no dry powder remains and the mixture becomes a thick, smooth paste.
- 2
Whisk the paste for about 1 minute, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl with a small whisk.
Break up even small lumps now, because they will feel gritty once mixed into the milk.
- 3
Pour 450ml of milk into a saucepan and warm it over medium-low heat.
Stir for about 3 minutes, and lower the heat as soon as small bubbles appear at the edges, before the milk boils.
- 4
Add the mugwort paste to the warm milk in two or three portions, whisking well each time.
Keep the whisk moving along the bottom until no powder settles and the color turns evenly jade green.
- 5
Add 1.5 tablespoons of condensed milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 0.1 teaspoon of salt.
Heat on low for 2 more minutes, stirring until the sweeteners dissolve, then turn off the heat before boiling.
- 6
Divide the finished mugwort latte between cups and serve while warm.
Stir once before drinking so the mugwort powder does not settle.
