Instructions

Sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps.
Add 2 ounces (60 ml) of hot water (about 175°F/80°C) to the matcha and whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk until frothy and smooth.
Steam the milk to 140–150°F (60–66°C) with fine microfoam.
Pour the steamed milk into the cup with the prepared matcha and gently stir to combine.
Serve immediately.

Tips

Use a fine mesh sifter to prevent clumps in the matcha and ensure a smooth texture. Substitute any milk with oat milk for a dairy-free version.
