Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 individual cubes ice cubes
Instructions
Start by sifting the matcha green tea powder into a small bowl to remove any clumps for a smoother drink.
Heat 2 tablespoons of water to just about boiling. You can either do this in a kettle or microwave.
Pour the hot water over the sifted matcha green tea powder.
Using a matcha whisk (chasen) or a small regular whisk, whisk the matcha and water together in a zigzag pattern until the mixture is a smooth paste with no lumps.
In a separate glass or small jug, combine the almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the sweetener is evenly distributed.
Fill a serving glass with the ice cubes.
Pour the almond milk mixture over the ice in the serving glass.
Gently pour the matcha mixture over the almond milk, creating a layered effect.
Stir gently with a spoon, if desired, until the matcha and almond milk are well combined.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing almond milk matcha!
