Begin by sifting 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder into a small bowl to remove any clumps.
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling) to the matcha powder.
Using a matcha whisk or a small regular whisk, briskly whisk the matcha and water in a zigzag motion until it forms a smooth and frothy paste.
In a small saucepan, heat 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk over medium heat. Do not bring to a boil; just warm until it begins to steam.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the matcha paste, 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness), and 0.25 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined and frothy.
Pour the matcha mixture into a mug, using a spoon to retain the foam.
Gently spoon the foam on top of the drink before serving.
