Cooking Tips

  • For a super-smooth drink, use a blender to combine the matcha, milk, and sweetener before pouring over ice.
  • Using sifted matcha helps avoid clumping.
  • Adjust the sweetness based on your preference or skip it altogether for a more traditional, earthy flavor.
  • If you prefer a more intense green tea flavor, increase the matcha to 1.5 teaspoons.
