Sift matcha powder into a mug to prevent clumping.
Add 2 oz hot water and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until frothy and fully dissolved.
Gently steam and froth your milk to 150°F–160°F. Avoid overheating.
Pour the steamed milk into your mug with the matcha.
Sweeten if desired, stir gently, and enjoy.
Notes
No steamer? Heat the milk gently on the stove (but not boiling), then froth it with a whisk or handheld frother, or shake warm milk in a covered jar for 30–60 seconds.
Plant-based milk froth better when cold-steamed or gently heated.
For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla and/or a pinch of cinnamon.
