He experimented with different ingredients until he came up with the perfect combination of coconut milk, matcha powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. The latte was an instant hit, and it has since been adopted by coffee shops and cafes around the world.

Why It Works
Coconut milk is a good source of healthy fats and antioxidants, and it gives the latte a rich and creamy flavor.
Matcha powder is a finely ground green tea powder that is packed with antioxidants and caffeine. It gives the latte a boost of energy and a slightly bitter flavor.
Honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness to the latte, and it helps to balance out the bitterness of the matcha powder.
Vanilla extract adds a hint of flavor to the latte, and it helps to round out the flavors of the other ingredients.
Coconut whipped cream is a delicious and easy way to top off the latte. It adds a touch of sweetness and creaminess, and it makes the latte look extra special.
