Instructions
First things first, mix together the hot water and matcha green tea powder. Then, you can do this with a handheld frother, immersion blender, bamboo whisk in a matcha bowl, or mini whisk in a cup. The key is to guarantee there are no clumps of matcha in the water—smooth and frothy is what you’re aiming for.
(Pro Tip: Sifting the matcha powder before whisking can make the process even smoother.)Add ice to a large cup or glass. Once your matcha is smooth and ready, pour it over the ice. Watching that vibrant green liquid hit the ice is so satisfying!
Then pour in the milk of your choice, pouring it slowly over the matcha and ice and giving everything a gentle stir. The two swirling layers—the green and the white—will combine to make a smooth drink that offers an amazing appearance in addition to incredible taste to meet any smooth-texture need.
(Tip: A dash of vanilla or mint extract will simply change the entire game!)Take a sip and adjust as needed. If you want a stronger latte, use more matcha powder, or skip the water entirely. For this option, blend the matcha powder directly with milk using an immersion blender to dissolve it. This way, you’ll get a richer, more intense flavor.Either way, you’ll have a rich and refreshing drink to enjoy.Pour the sweetened matcha mixture over the ice, then slowly add your milk. Watching the green matcha swirl into the milk? So satisfying! Give it a gentle stir to combine, and you’re ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding more or less syrup.
