Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons hot water (30ml)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml)
  • 1-2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (granulated sugar, honey, maple syrup, agave) or to taste

Instructions:

  1. Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or mug to prevent clumps. Add hot water and whisk vigorously until a smooth, dark green paste forms. There should be no lumps.
  2. Heat your milk of choice in a saucepan over medium heat, or in a microwave-safe mug in the microwave, until steaming hot but not boiling.
  3. Stir in your sweetener of choice to the warmed milk until dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  4. If desired, use a milk frother to create a light and airy foam.
  5. Pour the frothed milk over the matcha paste. Stir gently to combine. Alternatively, pour the matcha paste into the warmed milk and stir.
  6. Dust with extra matcha powder or sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve immediately.
