Description

A quick and easy matcha green tea drink that’s refreshing, energizing, and perfect for a healthy boost any time of day.


Ingredients

  • 6 oz milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • 12 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes (if serving cold)

Instructions

  1. Sift matcha powder into a small bowl to remove any clumps.
  2. Add hot water and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.

  5. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste.
  6. Serve immediately, with ice if desired for a chilled version.

  • Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and color.
  • Adjust sweetness to your preference or omit for an unsweetened drink.
  • Try it blended with ice for a frothy matcha frappe.
