Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoon ceremonial matcha powder
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 4 tablespoons chai syrup
  • 10 ice cubes
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder using a fine sieve. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling) over it. Use a bamboo whisk to mix into a paste.
  • Pour another 3-4 tablespoons of hot water into the matcha, then whisk using circular motions until foamy and frothy.
  • Separately, in a serving glass add the chai syrup, then place ice cubes on top (optional for iced version). Use chai concentrate for a sugar-free version.
  • If desired, use a milk frother to make the milk extra creamy and foamy.
  • Pour milk over the ice, filling up the glass ⅔ of the way to the top.
  • Lastly, gently pour the prepared matcha on top. Pouring it very slowly helps keep the layers separate.
  • Give everything a good mix before drinking, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Hot water should not exceed 80°C (175°F).
  • Dairy milk can be replaced with plant-based alternatives.
