Equipment
- Matcha Sifter
- Mini whisk
Ingredients
- 2 tsp matcha powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 50 ml hot water heated to around 80°C (176°F)
- 2 tsp honey or maple syrup, sugar syrup, etc
- 180 ml milk of your choice
- ice cubes
Instructions
- First, boil your water and then allow it to cool to about 80°C (176°F).Sift 2 tsp matcha powder into a small bowl.
- Add 1 tsp sugar.
- Pour 50 ml hot water into the bowl.
- Whisk until the matcha and sugar have dissolved and foam has formed on top. I recommend using a "chasen" (bamboo matcha whisk) for best results.
- In a separate jug, measure out 180 ml milk and add 2 tsp honey.
- Whisk until the honey is incorporated into the milk.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes about one-third of the way up.
- Pour the sweetened milk over the ice.
- Carefully pour the matcha mixture over the top, use a spoon to slow the pour. This will create a layered effect.
- Mix well before drinking and enjoy!
Notes
I recommend using a syrup sweetener to sweeten the milk, this helps the matcha sit on top to create the layered effect.
Feel free to reduce or increase the sweetness to your liking, but be aware that altering the recipe might alter the layered effect.
