Ingredients

2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and hot water until fully dissolved and frothy, ensuring there are no lumps. Set aside.
In a small saucepan (or in a microwave), heat the milk until warm but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, froth the milk until it doubles in volume and becomes creamy.
In a large mug, combine the sweetener and vanilla extract, stirring until mixed.
Pour the whisked matcha into the mug over the sweetener mixture.
Gently add the frothed milk to the mug, allowing the foam to create a beautiful layer on top.
Optionally, dust the top with cocoa powder or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

Customize your sweetness by adding more sweetener or flavored syrups like caramel or hazelnut.

For a dairy-free version, use almond, oat, or coconut milk.

For a different twist, try adding a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the milk.

Make it iced by using cold milk and serving the drink over ice.
