Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold filtered water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons natural sweetener (agave syrup, honey, or maple syrup), adjust to taste
- Ice cubes (about 1 cup or more, depending on preference)
- Vanilla extract (optional, a drop or two)
Instructions
- Scoop 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams) of matcha powder into a small bowl. Sift to prevent clumps.
- Pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cold filtered water.
- Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk or milk frother until smooth and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of sweetener and a drop or two of vanilla extract if using.
- Fill a tall glass with about 1 cup or more of ice cubes.
- Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk over the ice.
- Pour the matcha mixture gently over the coconut milk and stir gently with a long spoon or straw to create a marbled effect.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste and chill.
Notes
Sift matcha powder before whisking to avoid clumps. Use cold water to keep flavor bright and prevent bitterness. Stir gently when combining to maintain creamy texture. Full-fat coconut milk provides best creaminess without heaviness. Store-bought canned coconut milk brands vary; shake well before opening.
