Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams) ceremonial-grade matcha powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) hot water, just below boiling (about 175ยฐF / 80ยฐC)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) sweetener such as maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup
  • ยผ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 ounces (60 ml) of filtered water in a kettle or saucepan until just below boiling (about 175ยฐF or 80ยฐC), about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Sift 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of matcha powder into a small bowl or directly into your mug to avoid lumps.
  3. Pour the hot water over the matcha powder and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk or small metal whisk until fully dissolved and frothy, about 30 seconds.
  4. Gently warm 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sweetener, ยผ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the warmed coconut milk and stir well.
  6. Slowly pour the sweetened coconut milk into the bowl or mug with the whisked matcha and whisk or froth until creamy and frothy, about 15-20 seconds.
  7. Serve immediately in a heatproof mug. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder or toasted coconut flakes.

Notes

Use ceremonial-grade matcha for best flavor and smoothness. Avoid boiling water to prevent bitterness. Whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion to create froth. Warm coconut milk gently to avoid changing texture. Adjust sweetener to taste. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 24 hours and reheat gently.
