  • 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.

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.
