Matcha base

2 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder1/4 cup (60 ml) hot water (about 80°C / 175°F)1 tbs syrup or sweetener

Milk & ice

1 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)1 cups ice cubes

Optional garnish

1 tsp matcha dust (for dusting)2 tbs whipped cream

Method

Matcha base

Sift matcha

Sift 2 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder into a small bowl or matcha bowl to remove clumps.

Bloom matcha

Pour 60 ml hot water (about 80°C / 175°F) over the sifted matcha. Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or small regular whisk, briskly whisk in an 'M' or 'W' motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and a thin froth appears on the surface, about 15–30 seconds.

Sweeten

Stir in 1 tablespoon syrup or chosen sweetener (simple syrup, honey, agave, or flavored syrup) into the hot matcha until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.

Milk & assembly

Prepare glass

Fill a serving glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.

Add milk

Pour 1 cup of cold milk (or plant milk) over the ice, leaving a little headspace for the matcha.

Combine

Slowly pour the prepared sweetened matcha over the cold milk and ice. This creates a layered look; for a uniform drink, gently stir once with a long spoon or straw until combined.

Optional garnish

Finish

Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream if desired, and dust lightly with 1 teaspoon matcha powder for visual appeal. Serve immediately with a straw.
