Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar or sweetener of choice
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate shavings or matcha powder for topping (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the matcha powder, cocoa powder, and sugar.
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water to the bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. A bamboo matcha whisk works best, but a small regular whisk or fork will also work.
Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, or microwave it in a microwave-safe mug for about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the warm milk into the bowl with the matcha-cocoa mixture and whisk to combine thoroughly. Alternatively, you can transfer everything to a blender and blend for a frothy finish.
Pour the Matcha Cocoa into a serving mug.
If desired, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or a small pinch of matcha powder for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, creamy Matcha Cocoa!
