Matcha yogurt base
Toppings (optional)
Method
Matcha yogurt base
- 1
Bloom matcha
Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or cup to remove any clumps. Add the hot water (about 2 tablespoons) and whisk briskly in a quick zigzag motion until the matcha is smooth, frothy, and fully dissolved with no lumps (about 15–30 seconds).
- 2
Sweeten and flavor
Stir the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of sea salt into the whisked matcha until combined.
- 3
Combine with yogurt
Place the Greek yogurt in a medium mixing bowl. Add the milk to loosen the yogurt slightly (this yields a creamier, spoonable texture). Pour the matcha mixture over the yogurt. Using a flexible spatula or whisk, fold and stir the ingredients together until the yogurt is evenly tinted pale green and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness, adding up to 1 more teaspoon of sweetener if desired.
- 4
Chill (optional)
Cover and refrigerate for 10–30 minutes to let flavors meld and the texture firm slightly. You may serve immediately if preferred.
Toppings & serving
- 5
Divide the matcha yogurt between two bowls (about 1 cup each). Top each serving with the fresh berries, a sprinkle of granola, and toasted sesame seeds or chopped nuts. Drizzle additional honey or maple syrup on top if you like.
- 6
Serve immediately. Leftover matcha yogurt can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir before serving as liquids may separate slightly.
