Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons (2 to 3 grams) high-quality Japanese ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) hot water (about 175°F / 80°C)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) simple syrup or preferred sweetener (honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond, oat, soy, or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: splash of coconut cream or vanilla extract or pinch of cinnamon for flavor twist
  • Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water to just below boiling (around 175°F / 80°C).
  2. Place 1 to 1.5 teaspoons (2 to 3 grams) of matcha powder into a bowl or cup. Pour the hot water over it and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until smooth and frothy, about 15-20 seconds.
  3. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) of simple syrup or preferred sweetener to the matcha paste and stir gently to combine.
  4. Fill a tall glass or mason jar with ice cubes.
  5. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk over the ice.
  6. Pour the matcha mixture over the milk and ice. Stir gently to combine, creating a creamy, green swirl.
  7. Add a straw and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and smooth texture. Whisk in a zigzag motion to create froth. Control water temperature to avoid bitterness. Sweeten to taste. Use plenty of ice to keep the drink chilled without dilution. For extra creaminess, add half-and-half or coconut cream. Matcha paste can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; add milk and ice fresh before serving.
