Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp matcha powder
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 Tbsp whipped coconut cream (optional, for topping)

Method
 

  1. Whisk 2 Tbsp matcha into 1/4 cup warm water until frothy.
  2. Pour 2 cups whole milk into a saucepan over medium heat; add 1/8 tsp salt.
  3. Stir 2 Tbsp cocoa and 2 Tbsp honey into the milk until fully dissolved.
  4. Gently fold the matcha froth into the chocolate milk mixture; reduce heat to low.
  5. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract; heat until just steaming and fully blended (no boiling). Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped coconut cream, if desired.

Notes

Use Japanese ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa reduces bitterness. Oat or soy milk can replace dairy for a vegan version. Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
