Ingredients for Your Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte

2 tablespoons hot water (just enough to get things smooth)
8 ounces milk (your favorite kind, dairy or non-dairy works great!)
1 tablespoon sweetener (like honey or maple syrup, totally optional but yummy)
A tiny bit of black food coloring (for those signature Frankenstein stitches)
A drop of green food coloring (if you want an extra pop of green, totally optional!)
Whipped cream (because what’s a latte without it?)
Chocolate syrup (for drawing on a spooky face, if you’re feeling it!)

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte

Alright, let’s get this spooky masterpiece put together! It’s not complicated, I promise, and the result is just too darn fun. Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll have your own adorable little Frankenstein staring back at you from your mug!

Preparing the Matcha Base

First things first, we gotta get that gorgeous green matcha base ready. Grab a little bowl and pop in your matcha powder. Then, add the hot water. Now, here’s the trick: whisk it like you mean it! Use a little whisk or a fork, and just go at it until it’s super smooth and there are absolutely no clumps. Nobody likes a lumpy latte, right?

Creating the Frankenstein Details

Now for the fun part – making Frankenstein’s face! Take a tiny splash of milk in a separate little dish. Add just a drop or two of black food coloring. Stir it up really well. You want a nice, dark green or almost black color for those stitches. If you want your latte itself to be a brighter green, you can add a tiny drop of green food coloring to the main milk too, but honestly, the matcha usually does a pretty good job on its own!

Assembling and Decorating Your Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte

Okay, time to bring our guy to life! Pour your main milk (with the matcha and sweetener mixed in, remember?) into your serving glass. Now, pile on that whipped cream – be generous! This is Frankenstein’s forehead, after all. Grab that black milk mixture you made. Dip the tip of a toothpick or a tiny spoon into it, and carefully draw those classic Frankenstein stitches across the whipped cream. You can even use a little chocolate syrup to draw on some eyes and a mouth if you’re feeling extra creative. Voila! Your very own Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte is ready to spook and delight!

Tips for the Perfect Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte

Want to make your Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte extra special? Listen up! First off, the matcha quality really makes a difference. I always try to use a good ceremonial grade if I can find it – it’s smoother and has that beautiful vibrant green color. If you’re using non-dairy milk, oat milk or almond milk work like a charm and give it a lovely creaminess. Don’t be afraid to adjust the sweetener; some folks like it sweeter, some like it more earthy, so taste and tweak! For those stitches, trust me, a little goes a long way. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away, right? If you want to see a few more fun matcha ideas, check out some other matcha recipes!

Ingredient Notes and Substitution Ideas

Let’s chat a bit about the ingredients for our Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte! For the milk, honestly, anything works! I love oat milk because it’s super creamy, but almond, soy, or even good old dairy milk are fantastic too. If you’re not a fan of sweeteners, just skip ’em! The matcha has a lovely natural flavor. And for the matcha powder itself, a good ceremonial grade will give you that gorgeous, vibrant green, but even a culinary grade works – it might just be a bit less intense in color. For the coloring, a tiny dot goes a loooong way, just so you know!

Frequently Asked Questions about Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte

Got questions about our spooky little friend? I’ve got answers!

Can I make this Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte vegan?

Totally! Just swap out the dairy milk for your favorite plant-based option like almond, soy, or oat milk. And use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for the sweetener. Easy peasy!

How do I get the best green color for my Halloween Frankenstein Matcha Latte?

The matcha powder itself gives a lovely green hue. For an extra pop, though, a tiny drop of green food coloring mixed into the main milk before you add the matcha works wonders! Don’t go overboard, though; we just want a nice, vibrant Frankenstein green.

What’s the best way to draw the Frankenstein stitches?

Ah, the stitches! The trick is to use a very small amount of that dark colored milk mixture. Dip the tip of something fine, like a toothpick or even the very end of a small spoon, and gently drag it across the whipped cream. You want thin, precise lines to really make him look like Frankenstein!
