Notes

  • Use ceremonial-grade matcha for a smoother taste if you prefer less bitterness.
  • Barista-blend oat or almond milk works best for a creamy, dairy-free version.
  • Avoid boiling water—it scorches matcha and makes it bitter.
  • Sweetened matcha blends like Starbucks’ can be replicated by mixing sugar into your matcha powder.
