Ingredients
2 tsp Matcha powder
60 ml Hot water
125 ml Milk of choice (if you use oat milk make sure that it can foam)
1 tsp Sweetener of choice (if you want, I think it’s already so great that there is no need)
Directions
- Boil the water and pour a little into the mug your going to use in order to heat it up
- Make sure that the rest of the water is not warmer than 165° F or 75° C. If it is, just add a little bit of cold water. If the water is boiling it will scorch the matcha.
- Pour the water out of the mug and dry
- Put the matcha powder into the bowl, add 1 tbsp of hot water and stir, or whisk if you have a bamboo whisk (chasen). Whisk for up to 20 seconds until no lumps remain.
- Stir the rest of the water and sweetener (if you are using a sweetener) until dissolved. Pour the matcha into your warm mug.
- Heat the milk over medium heat just until it begins to boil, then be quick and froth using a milk frother.
- Slowly pour the foamy milk into the mug with the matcha(and make a heart or a leaf if your can 🙂
- Enjoy!
