Ingredients

1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha (See note 1)
3/4 cup cold milk (dairy or plant based, see note 2)
ice
2 teaspoons sweetener of your choice (see note 3)

Instructions

Sift the matcha powder through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup warm water and use a matcha whisk to combine with the up and down "M" motion until smooth and slightly frothy.
Sweeten your milk to taste. Fill a tall glass 2/3 of the way full with ice, then pour the milk over top.
Pour the matcha mixture over the milk, then stir with a straw to combine. Enjoy.

Notes

If you don't have a sifter or bamboo whisk, just combine the matcha and water in a tightly sealed jar and shake vigorously until well combined.

Note 1: Look for matcha powder that is sourced from Japan, is very bright green, and costs around $20-30 for a 1.5-2.5 ounce package. We recommend Ippodo's Ikuyo matcha.

Note 2: You can use dairy or non-dairy milk for matcha lattes. I prefer unsweetened oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk for iced matcha.

Note 3: Honey and cane sugar can be difficult to incorporate into cold drinks. I recommend using a liquid sweetener like maple syrup, simple syrup, or a homemade syrup like vanilla syrup or lavendar syrup.
