Calories: 171kcal
Equipment
- 1 sieve
- 1 electric frother
Ingredients
- 1 ½ teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- ¼ cup cold water
- Sweetener of choice, such as maple syrup (about 2-3 teaspoons or to taste)
- 9-10 ice cubes
- 1 cup milk of choice
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
1st method (with a blender)
- Put all the ingredients, besides the ice, to the bowl of your blender and blend for 20 seconds or until everything is combined and no lumps remain.Pour in a glass and fill with ice.
2nd method (without a blender)
- Sift: Sift the matcha tea into a glass or cup.
- Add cold water: Add the cold water to the matcha powder and whisk the mixture well using a bamboo whisk or an electric milk frother until the matcha is fully dissolved.Alternatively, if you don't have a frother or a whisk you will first add just a small quantity of water (about 1-2 teaspoons) and mix with a small spoon until you get a thick matcha paste. Mix the paste until all the lumps are dissolved and gradually add the rest of the water.
- Sweeten (optional): Add the sweetener of your choice and stir until it's well incorporated. Taste and adjust the quantity if needed.
- Add the ice and the milk: Add the ice cubes and the milk to a serving glass and pour the matcha mixture into the glass. Stir with a spoon to mix and enjoy!
Notes
1 ½ teaspoons of matcha powder per serving will give you a strong matcha flavor. For a lighter flavor, use just 1 teaspoon per serving.
There's no need for vanilla extract if you use a flavored milk.
If following the second method, you can also do everything in the serving glass:
- Sift the matcha in the serving glass
- Add the water and the sweetener and then froth with a frother
- Add the ice and the milk
