- Optional flavorings (1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, cinnamon sprinkle)
Instructions
- Sift the Matcha
- Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a small bowl and sift to remove clumps.
- Whisk the Matcha

- Prepare the Glass
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the Milk
- Add 6 to 8 ounces of cold milk over the ice.
- Sweeten (Optional)
- If desired, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of your chosen sweetener to the whisked matcha. Stir well.

Notes
- For a stronger matcha flavor, use 2 teaspoons of matcha powder.
- Oat milk creates a naturally sweeter and creamier latte without added sugar.
- Always use ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
- Whisking with a bamboo chasen creates the best foam, but a hand frother or shaker bottle also works.
