Ingredients
- 1 tsp matcha powder (ceremonial or high-quality culinary grade)
- 2 oz hot water (about 175°F / not boiling)
- ¾–1 cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, almond, soy, etc.)
- Ice
- 1–2 tsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, simple syrup, or vanilla syrup), optional
Instructions
- Sift matcha powder into a small bowl or mug to remove any clumps.
- Add hot water and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk or handheld frother until fully dissolved and frothy.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in your milk of choice.
- Add sweetener to the milk, if using.
- Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the milk for a beautiful layered look.
- Stir gently to combine and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a matcha frappe, blend everything with ice until smooth.
- Use coconut milk for a tropical twist or add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Top with cold foam or vanilla ice cream for a dessert-inspired version.
- Always sift your matcha and avoid boiling water for best texture and taste.
