Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tsp matcha (green tea powder)
- 2 tbsp hot water (not boiling) (175℉)
- 1 tsp sweetener of choice (optional)
- ¾ cup milk (heated and whisked over the stove) (substitute non-dairy milk)
Instructions
- Use a fine mesh strainer to sift matcha powder into a wide cup or bowl to remove clumps.
- Add sweetener (optional) and hot water and whisk in a "W" motion with a bamboo or flat whisk for 20 seconds. (Don't over whisk or it'll create bitterness, remember tea leaves never full dissolve).
- Heat milk in a pot over the stove on medium-high heat until boiling. Whisk the milk vigorously to create froth or use a handheld milk frother.
- Add your milk and matcha and lightly stir together. Sprinkle on additional matcha powder using a fine mesh strainer. Serve & enjoy!
