• Gingerbread Spices: A mix of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves adds warmth and a holiday-inspired aroma, complementing matcha’s natural richness.

How to Make the Gingerbread Matcha Latte

1. Prepare the Matcha Base

• Open your Elixir Mixer and add 2 ounces of hot water (175°F).
• Add 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder directly into the water.
• Activate the whisk on the Elixir Mixer and blend for 10-15 seconds until the matcha is fully dissolved and forms a vibrant green liquid.

2. Add the Gingerbread Spice Mix

• Add the ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract directly into the matcha mixture.
• Whisk for another 10 seconds to ensure the spices are evenly incorporated. The aroma of the spices will begin to fill the air, creating a festive vibe.

3. Heat the Milk

• Warm 8-10 ounces of your milk of choice on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot but not boiling.
• Pour the warmed milk into the Elixir Mixer with the matcha and spices.

4. Froth and Blend

• Secure the lid on the Elixir Mixer, leaving the flip cap open to allow steam to escape.
• Activate the whisk again for 15-20 seconds to blend and froth the latte. The Elixir Mixer’s whisk creates a creamy, frothy texture that enhances the latte’s indulgence.

5. Sweeten to Taste

• If you prefer a sweeter latte, add your chosen sweetener directly into the Elixir Mixer.
• Whisk for an additional 5 seconds to incorporate the sweetener evenly.

6. Serve and Garnish

• Pour the frothy Gingerbread Matcha Latte into your favorite holiday mug.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream for a festive finishing touch.

Tips for the Perfect Gingerbread Matcha Latte

1. Use High-Quality Matcha
   Opt for ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant color. Culinary-grade matcha can work in a pinch, but it may have a more bitter taste.

2. Experiment with Milk
   Plant-based milks like oat or coconut add a creamy texture, while almond milk provides a lighter option. Dairy milk creates a classic, rich latte.

3. Adjust Spice Levels
   Love bold flavors? Add an extra pinch of ginger or cinnamon to intensify the gingerbread taste. Prefer subtlety? Reduce the spice amounts slightly for a milder flavor.

4. Make It Iced
   For an iced version, let the blended mixture cool, then pour it over ice. Froth the milk separately and add it on top for a chilled holiday treat.
