Matcha Preparation Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon high-quality green tea powder Use ceremonial grade for sipping or culinary grade for lattes.
  • 2 ounces hot water Use water where small bubbles form, but not boiling.
  • 4 to 8 ounces milk of choice Optional for making a matcha latte.
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup Optional sweetness.
  • ice Optional for an iced version.
  • a tiny pinch of cinnamon or vanilla Optional for flavoring.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Sift the matcha powder into a wide mug to prevent clumps.
  2. Pour in the hot water and whisk for 15 to 20 seconds until light foam forms.
  3. For a classic cup, add more hot water and sip. For a latte, froth your milk and pour it in.
  4. Sweeten as desired and enjoy your drink hot or pour over ice for an iced version.

Notes

Use a wide mug to whisk easily. In absence of a whisk, shake the drink in a jar with a tight lid. Pair with overnight oats for a complete breakfast. For a creamy texture in cold weather, blend with coconut butter.
