Ingredients
1 teaspoon matcha powder
60 ml hot water (140-175°F / 70-80°C, not boiling)
200 ml milk (dairy, soy, oat, almond, or coconut)
1–2 teaspoons sugar or syrup (optional)
6–8 ice cubes
1 bamboo whisk (chasen)
Instructions
Sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove any lumps.
Pour the hot water (70-80°C / 140-175°F) over the sifted matcha.
Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk vigorously in a “W” or zigzag motion until smooth and frothy.
If desired, add sugar or syrup and whisk until fully dissolved.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Pour the milk of your choice over the ice.
Slowly pour the prepared matcha mixture over the milk to create a layered effect.
Stir before drinking, or shake everything together in a shaker for an extra frothy texture.
Notes
Avoid using boiling water, as it can make the matcha taste bitter.
Oat milk and soy milk pair especially well with matcha for a creamy consistency.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
For the best flavor, use high-quality ceremonial or latte-grade matcha powder.
