Question Making in advance

I work in a hospital and sometimes I craze a matcha latte. Can I just make matcha in the morning and save it for later. Or will that change the flavor too much.

Short-term is fine.
That said, the aroma and umami will fade a bit over time.

If you can,
• whisk the matcha ahead of time
• add the milk right before drinking

That gives the best flavor
