Description
A comforting warm drink combining the earthy flavor of matcha with the rich goodness of hot chocolate, perfect for chilly days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups milk (dairy, almond, or oat)
- Sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar)
Instructions
- Begin by heating your milk in a saucepan on medium heat until warm, not boiling.
- While the milk warms, whisk together the matcha and cocoa powder in a separate bowl.
- Once the milk is warm, pour a small amount into your dry mixture and whisk vigorously to form a smooth paste.
- Gradually whisk in the rest of the warm milk until blended well.
- Sweeten to your liking and stir until the sweetener dissolves.
- Pour it into your favorite mug and enjoy with a sprinkle of extra matcha or cocoa if desired.
Notes
Use a whisk to ensure an even dispersion of matcha, and avoid boiling the milk to maintain a smooth texture.
