Matcha, a finely ground green tea powder, makes for a delightful and refreshing beverage when combined with milk. Here’s a simple recipe to create your own delicious Matcha Milk Drink at home:

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 1 cup milk (any type of milk you prefer)
  • Honey or sugar (optional, for sweetening)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Matcha:
    • In a small bowl, place 1 teaspoon of matcha powder.
  2. Add Hot Water:
    • Pour 1 tablespoon of hot (but not boiling) water into the bowl with the matcha powder.
  3. Whisk the Matcha:
    • Use a bamboo whisk or a small whisk to blend the matcha and hot water together. Whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until the mixture becomes frothy and smooth. This step helps to dissolve the matcha powder and create a creamy texture.
  4. Heat the Milk:
    • In a separate saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 cup of milk until it is warm but not boiling. If using a microwave, heat the milk in a microwave-safe mug for about 1 minute.
  5. Combine Matcha and Milk:
    • Pour the frothy matcha mixture into a cup or mug.
    • Slowly add the warm milk to the matcha, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Sweeten (Optional):
    • If desired, add honey or sugar to sweeten your Matcha Milk Drink. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences.
  7. Enjoy Your Matcha Milk Drink:
    • Stir well and enjoy your delicious Matcha Milk Drink while it’s warm!

Tips:

  • Quality of Matcha: Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
  • Frothing: For a smoother texture, you can use a milk frother to froth the milk before adding it to the matcha.
  • Customization: Feel free to adjust the ratio of matcha to milk and sweetness level to suit your personal taste.

Now, you’re ready to savor this delightful Matcha Milk Drink, perfect for any time of day!
