Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 cup hot or room temperature milk (not cold) (unsweetened plant-based milk for paleo/vegan options)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, 1 cup of hot or room temperature milk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup initially.
- Blend the mixture: Place all the ingredients, starting with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, into a blender. Blend for about 30 seconds until the mixture is very frothy and well combined.
- Taste and adjust sweetness: After blending, taste the matcha tea and add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired. Blend briefly again to mix.
- Serve immediately: Pour the frothy matcha tea into a cup and enjoy it warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use unsweetened plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk to keep the recipe vegan or paleo-friendly.
- Do not use cold milk as it may affect the frothiness and bitterness of the matcha.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup according to your personal sweetness preference.
- For a stronger matcha flavor, you can increase the matcha powder quantity slightly but be mindful of its natural bitterness.
