INGREDIENTS

▢ 1 teaspoon Ceremonial-grade matcha powder choose organic, stone-ground
▢ ¼ cup hot water
▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 2 teaspoon allulose optional, I recommend RX Sugar, 1 scoop = 1 tsp
▢ 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

INSTRUCTIONS

Add a teaspoon of matcha powder to a 10-ounce mug or small bowl.
Add hot water to the mug. Using a small whisk, combine the matcha powder and water to create a thick and smooth tea.
Add the vanilla and allulose (if using) and whisk to incorporate.
Add the milk to a small saucepan and heat until nearly boiling. To preserve the antioxidants in the matcha, you can use a food thermometer to ensure the temperature is at or below 175° F.
Whisk the milk in a back-and-forth motion to create a froth, pour it into the mug, and enjoy immediately!

NOTES

Make sure to use a small whisk to create a froth more easily.
Instead of using hot tap water, you can heat cold water in the microwave for about 30 seconds. The water should not be boiling.
If you heat the milk above 175 degrees F, whisk it until it cools down to the desired temperature. It should only take 30-60 seconds.
If you are using a stone-ground matcha powder, you will not need to sift the powder before mixing it with water.
If you are using a bamboo whisk, don't forget to soak it in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
If you are having trouble getting the froth out of the saucepan after pouring, using a spatula will do the trick!
