Matcha Tea Base

Toppings (Optional)

Method

Matcha Tea Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Matcha

    In a small bowl, sift the matcha green tea powder to remove any lumps.

  2. 2

    Add the hot water to the bowl with the sifted matcha. Use a bamboo whisk or a small whisk to whisk the matcha and water together until it becomes frothy and well combined, approximately 30 seconds.

Milk Mixture

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. If using a non-dairy milk, be careful not to overheat.

  2. 4

    Once heated, remove from heat and stir in the sweetener and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    In a large mug, pour the prepared matcha tea base first. Slowly add the milk mixture over the matcha, allowing it to blend.

  2. 6

    If desired, top with whipped cream and a light dusting of matcha powder for garnish.

  3. 7

    Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Matchata!
