Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Mixture
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup warm water
Other Ingredients
- Ice, as needed
- Milk of choice (almond milk recommended), to taste
Instructions
- Make Matcha Paste: In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the 2 teaspoons of matcha powder with 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk vigorously until the matcha forms a smooth, lump-free paste.
- Add Warm Water: Pour in the remaining 1 cup of warm water into the matcha paste and mix thoroughly to combine.
- Chill Mixture: Place the matcha mixture in the fridge or freezer for about 15 minutes to cool it down.
- Assemble Drink: Fill two glasses with ice. Add milk of choice to each glass as desired. Pour the chilled matcha mixture over the ice and milk. Stir well before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a sweetener such as honey, sugar, or agave if desired.
- Using warm water (not boiling) helps preserve the delicate flavor of matcha.
- The chilling step can be shortened or skipped if you prefer a less cold drink.
- Almond milk is recommended for a light, nutty taste, but any milk substitute or dairy milk can be used.
- Whisking thoroughly is key to avoid clumps in the matcha paste.
