What is a Delgano Matcha Latte?
This particular delgona is made with aquafaba. Aquafaba is the liquid that you drain after opening a can of chickpeas. So, aquafaba is chickpea liquid. Crazy, right? Aquafaba is a wonderful egg white replacement when adhering to a plant-based diet.
I use coconut milk from Califia Farms. I am so in love with this company! All of their products are delicious. Their mission is to harness the power of plants. Their Mission states: We believe food must be returned to its original nourishing purpose. We do this with the power of plants and by working together for the good of the planet.

How to make a Dalgona Matcha Iced Latte
Matcha: is the star of the show. The celebrity more and more people are drinking everyday. I use organic Matcha tea, and it can be found in most super markets.
Coconut milk: A smooth and creamy coconut milk from Califia Farms is perfection for this iced latte. It’s unsweetened, deeply creamy and intensely smooth.
Sugar: You can use either granulated sugar or coconut sugar. It’s recommended to use a fine grain sugar, but coconut sugar will work too.
Aquafaba: Say, what? Drain that can of chickpeas and use the liquid to create a meringue. That’s what I did for this Dalgona. Whip the liquid, add the sugar and you will eventually get a stiff peak meringue.

The aquafaba doesn’t whip up like egg whites, but pretty darn close. So, when you beat the liquid and sugar, stiff peaks will be different than eggwhite stiff peaks.
