Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 2–3 tbsp hot water (not boiling, about 160–175°F)
- ¾ cup milk (or oat/almond/coconut milk)
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- ½ tsp orange zest (optional, for aroma)
Instructions
- Sift the matcha into a small bowl to remove clumps.
- Add hot water and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until frothy.
- Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat (don’t boil). Stir in your sweetener, orange zest (if using), and vanilla.
- Froth the milk using a handheld frother or whisk.
- Pour orange juice into your mug, then add whisked matcha.
- Top with frothed milk. Spoon foam on top and garnish with a little extra zest if you’re feeling fancy.
- Sip, smile, and enjoy.
Notes
- Want it iced? Use cold milk and pour everything over ice.
- Orange syrup can be used in place of fresh juice for stronger flavor.
- To avoid curdling: add orange juice to mug first, and let milk cool slightly before pouring.
