Ingredients

1 serving

1 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder
2 tbsp hot water (175°f / 80°c — not boiling)
1 cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup, to taste
Chef's tip
Use the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter.

Instructions

1
Sift the matcha powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl or matcha bowl to break up any clumps.
2
Pour the hot water (175°F / 80°C) over the sifted matcha. Using a bamboo matcha whisk or small wire whisk, whisk in a brisk zigzag motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and a thin layer of fine foam forms on the surface, about 30–45 seconds.
