As the cherry blossoms start to bloom, it's the perfect time to enjoy the lovely Sakura Latte.
This special drink is perfect for spring and was a big hit at our recent pop-up.
We're sharing some tips on how to make it at home.
The Sakura Latte was inspired by the beautiful cherry blossom festivals in Japan.
The drink starts with milk that has a hint of cherry blossom flavor, which makes it taste light and fresh.
At Crafti, we wanted to make a drink that feels like spring in a cup, and this latte does just that.
2.5g (1¼ tsp) Ceremonial Uji Matcha Powder
3g Sakura powder
70ml Milk of Choice
2g Sugar (or to taste)
Sieve matcha powder into a cup.
Add warm water, and whisk until clump-free.
Blend milk and sakura powder together in a separate blender.
Fill a cup with ice, pour in the milk blend, then layer with the matcha mixture on top!
Add sweetener to taste
If you want to try making this latte at home, here are a few tips:
Milk: Use your favorite type of milk.
Sakura Mixture: We chose sakura powder for its delicate floral notes, reminiscent of springtime in Japan. It adds a gentle sweetness, much like rose. Stir it into the milk and blend. If you have a frother, use it to create a dreamy, cloud-like texture.
Sweetener: We recommend using a liquid sweetener (like a syrup), or mixing the sugar with the Sakura mixture.
Taste superbly floral but prefer strawberry over this. I feel ca do without. Perhaps in future can have Ube Powder?
I was prepared to fail at making my first matcha, but I never expected it to be so easy? The frother was idiot proof really. All I needed was to perfect my milk-matcha ratio, which was easily available on socials. I can't compare the matcha since it's my first, but omg it taste SO GOOD. Earthy and rich and not powdery, just like, or even better than, the ones in cafes!
Matcha was surprisingly good and the delivery was very fast. Everything was well packed and the the first subscription box has so many freebies. I’m enjoying of having the ease of the super frother to froth the matcha which saves a lot of time!
Third packet of ceremonial grade matcha from Crafti. Taste great with oat milk without sugar, and it doesn’t live a bitter after taste. Can’t wait for my next packet to arrive.
Quite difficult to open the metal cap of the vault as it’s very tight. The vault is a bit too tall that it’s quite difficult to scoop it up using the crafti spatula. Was a bit disappointed as I was previously quite look forward to receive this as I have been having issue scooping up the matcha from its resealable bag.
This light green puffy pouch is much roomier than expected and is the perfect travel companion! In the future, if Crafti could release a dark green/white gradient version which looks like a matcha latte that would be so cute!
I no longer have to worry about running out of matcha!
Love it that it is not bitter and yummy as a latte
This is awesome! It is so convenient and handy. I not only use it during my travel but even in the office too. It allows me to whisk my matcha finely without having to bring along my electric whisk. Love this! Small, light and super handy!
