When it comes to Ranbir Kapoor, fans are usually talking about his films, his love for football, or his charming screen presence.

Yes, the frothy green drink that’s become a Gen Z wellness staple has made its way into the Kapoor household. And surprisingly, it wasn’t Ranbir who discovered it first.

He admits it was Alia Bhatt who introduced him to matcha and helped him develop a taste for it. Given her wellness-first approach, it’s no surprise that she’s converted her husband into a “matcha guy.”

Ranbir on his love for matcha

“Fortunately or unfortunately, I have converted myself into a matcha guy because of my wife. It's quite divided because some people are really for it and some people are against it. But I think a good matcha with almond milk and some jaggery, I think it tastes pretty good. And it gives me my caffeine,” Ranbir confessed.

So, if you’ve been trying to convince your partner that a green latte doesn’t take away his masculinity, you can now use Ranbir as proof.

A simple vegan matcha recipe

Here’s how you can recreate Ranbir’s favourite drink at home with a few tasty add-ons:

• Ingredients
• 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder
• ¼ cup hot water
• ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 heaping tsp coconut milk powder
• 1 tsp jaggery powder
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Method

• Whisk the matcha powder with hot water until smooth.
• Warm the almond milk with jaggery and vanilla, then stir in the coconut milk powder.
• Froth the mixture and pour it over the whisked matcha.
• Sip and enjoy your celebrity-approved green latte.

Why Matcha?

Beyond the Kapoor seal of approval, matcha is loaded with benefits. It’s rich in antioxidants called catechins that protect cells from damage.

It can boost metabolism, support fat burning and thanks to L-theanine, an amino acid, it helps you stay calm yet alert, the perfect balance for busy mornings.

Whether you’re looking to start healthier habits, experiment with plant-based drinks, or simply drink like a Bollywood star, Ranbir’s vegan matcha latte could be the upgrade your mornings are waiting for.

After all, if it’s good enough for the Kapoors, it might just deserve a spot in your cup too.
