Scale
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 ounces hot water (not boiling, around 175°F or 80°C)
- 8 ounces milk (dairy or plant-based, heated)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Whisk the Matcha: Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl to avoid clumps. Add 2 ounces of hot water heated to about 175°F (80°C) to the powder. Using a bamboo whisk or small whisk, briskly whisk the mixture in a zigzag motion until frothy and fully combined.
- Heat the Milk: Warm 8 ounces of your preferred milk either on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot but not boiling.
- Combine and Sweeten: Pour the hot milk slowly into the whisked matcha mixture while stirring gently. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and stir until fully dissolved and smooth.
Notes
- Use good quality, ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and smooth texture.
- Do not use boiling water as it can make the matcha taste bitter.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or substituting with other sweeteners like agave or maple syrup.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Whisking the matcha vigorously is key to achieving a creamy froth on top.
