Ingredients

  • 1 tsp matcha powder I used Jade Leaf, Organic Matcha

Instructions

  • In a mason jar or small glass container, pour in the milk and shake vigorously until thick foam forms. Place in microwave for 30-sec intervals until warmed through, shaking in between to keep foam intact. Set aside.

  • Add the maple syrup to the matcha mixture and whisk again to combine.
  • Pour sweetened matcha mixture into a mug and carefilly add the warmed milk. Scoop the thick foam on top. Enjoy immediatley.

Notes

Whisk: If you happen to love Matcha as much as I do, I highly suggest you get yourself a bamboo whisk like this! It was a game-changer for me. 
Matcha: If you are not familiar with the taste of matcha, I recommend starting with 1 teaspoon to start. Quality is also essential here, I have tried quite a few brands but found this one to be the best in terms of taste and price. 
Maple Syrup: I personally love my matcha sweetened, for a sweeter taste I find 1.5 tsp to be perfect for this recipe. Granulated sugar would also work, such as cane sugar or coconut sugar.
Milk: I find some unsweetened dairy-free milk doesn't thicken and foam up as desired. However, Elmhurst 1925 brand is incredible. They also have a barista line of milk which I would recommend checking out here. If you only have sweetened versions of milk at home, no worries, just adjust added sweeteners to suit that. I have used coconut milk for this recipe before and it's fantastic.
