Matcha Latte Anyone??

This handy milk frother is available in Aldi stores around Ireland from Thursday 20th October. I often use my milk frother to whip up a Matcha Latte in the mornings, especially when I am a little against the clock. Simply add your milk, a scoop of Matcha and hit play. When it is done, you will have a nice frothy Matcha Latte, add sweetener if your heart desires. Either ways, it is a must have in the kitchen of any Coffee or Matcha lover. https://www.aldi.ie/milk-heater-frother/p/072513066274500
