Ingredients

• 1 tsp Matcha (green tea powder)
• 60 ml hot water (about 80°C (175°F), not boiling)
• 180 ml cold milk (dairy or oat)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)
• Ice

Method

1. Sift the matcha into a small bowl to break up any lumps.
2. Add the hot water and whisk briskly in a zigzag with a bamboo whisk or small frother for about 30 seconds, until smooth and frothy. Stir in the sweetener now if using.
3. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the cold milk.
4. Slowly pour the matcha over the top so it floats in a green layer, then stir before drinking.

Tips

• Boiling water scorches matcha and makes it bitter; let the kettle rest a few minutes first.
• Matcha contains about as much caffeine as a weak coffee.
