Ingredient List

-Matcha Powder

-Choice of Milk (Oat, Almond, Soy, etc.)

-Agave Syrup

-Can substitute it for honey or maple syrup

Supplies Needed

-2x Small Bowl

-Cup

-Matcha Whisk (if you want)

Let's Make it!

1. Gather all your ingredients and set them out on a clean surface. If you have one, soak your matcha whisk in a bowl with warm water.

**This will prevent the whisk from breaking!

2. Measure out 2 grams of matcha powder and 1/3-1/4 cup of warm water. Put them both in a small bowl and whisk it up until it turns frothy.

3. In a cup, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of agave syrup

(or an alternative) to 1 cup of milk and mix it.

4. Lastly, add the matcha on top of the milk and enjoy!
