Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp matcha powder sifted
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream or aquafaba for vegan
  • 1–2 tsp sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Sift the matcha powder into a chilled mixing bowl to avoid clumps.
  • Add cream and sugar to the bowl with the matcha.
  • Whip using a hand frother, whisk, or electric mixer until soft peaks form. This takes about 1-3 minutes.
  • Pour milk into a glass over ice, leaving room at the top.
  • Spoon the whipped matcha on top of the milk.
  • Stir gently before drinking, or leave layered for presentation.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use aquafaba or coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste—some matchas are naturally more bitter.
  • Add vanilla or cinnamon to the milk for extra flavor.
  • Double the recipe for a larger glass or a second serving.
