- Add sweetener if using, and whisk again until dissolved.
- Fill a tall glass almost to the top with ice cubes.
- Pour 3/4 cup (6 oz) of your chosen milk over the ice.

Notes
For best results, use ceremonial grade matcha and sift before whisking to avoid clumps. Let hot water cool slightly before adding to matcha to prevent bitterness. Adjust sweetness and milk to taste. For extra froth, blend the milk and matcha together before pouring over ice. Store pre-mixed matcha in the fridge for up to 3 days.
