Instructions

Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups (480 ml) vanilla ice cream.
Add 1 tablespoon (21 g) honey, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon (2 g) matcha powder.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds until just thick and smooth, avoiding overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use good quality matcha powder for a vibrant flavor and bright color. If you prefer a stronger matcha taste, add up to 1/2 teaspoon more powder.
