Ingredients
1 to 2 teaspoons matcha powder
2 tablespoons hot water (about 175°F)
1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or simple syrup
3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
1. Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl using a fine mesh strainer to remove clumps.
2. Add hot water to the sifted matcha and whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion until frothy and smooth.
3. Stir in the maple syrup or your preferred sweetener until fully dissolved.
4. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes nearly to the top.
5. Pour the matcha mixture over the ice, then slowly add the milk.
6. Give everything a gentle stir and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant color.
Don’t skip the sifting step — it prevents bitter clumps.
Always use hot, not boiling, water to keep the matcha smooth and mellow.
