Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Filtered water
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup Hot water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by soaking raw almonds in 2 cups of water for at least 8 hours or overnight. This will soften the nuts for easier blending.
After soaking, rinse the almonds thoroughly under cold running water.
Add the soaked almonds and 4 cups of filtered water to a blender. Blend on high speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Strain the almond milk through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl. Squeeze out all the liquid, leaving only the dry almond pulp.
Pour 1 cup of the freshly made almond milk into a saucepan and gently heat it over low heat. Do not let it come to a boil.
In a bowl, whisk 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder with 1 tablespoon of hot water to make a smooth, thick paste. Ensure there are no lumps.
Gradually add 1 cup of hot water to the matcha paste while whisking continuously to maintain smoothness.
Combine the hot almond milk with the matcha mixture, stirring well to blend.
Place 1 cup of ice cubes in a serving glass and pour the almond milk matcha over the ice.
Optionally, you can adjust the flavor by adding more almond milk or matcha to suit your taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
