Notes
Expert tips for the perfect matcha drink
- Froth your milk while still cold. I did this both with warm almond milk and cold almond milk, and when cold, almond milk froths way better and faster. Once you have it frothed and ready, heat it before adding it to your drink
- Use warm water instead of boiling water when mixing it with your matcha. Boiling water will burn your matcha powder and cause a bitter aftertaste
- Remember, the quality of your matcha matters, specially in this recipe where you only have 3 ingredients. Try using ceremonial grade matcha.
