Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tsp matcha green tea powder
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 tbsps sweetener of choice

  • 1 cup ice

Instructions

  1. Add the hot water and a teaspoon of matcha powder to a bowl.

  3. Assemble the drink. Start with your sweetener and vanilla. Then add your milk of choice and the ice cubes.

Notes

Add boba pearls to turn this matcha milk tea into a matcha bubble tea. Put them on the bottom of the glass and then build your drink like normal.

In terms of milk, almond milk is our top choice, but you can make a matcha latte with any milk or cream you like.

Honey is our choice of sweetener for this recipe, but additional options that work well with this tea include brown sugar syrup, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.

A traditional Japanese matcha whisk works best to keep the powder from clumping. However, a regular whisk, milk frother, or blender will also work.
