Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding simple syrup according to your taste preferences.
- Different types of milk (almond, oat, cow’s, soy) will alter the flavor and texture.
- For a stronger matcha flavor, use less milk or add an extra teaspoon of matcha powder.
- Matcha powder should be sifted if clumpy to ensure smooth whisking.
- Use hot water, not boiling, to preserve the delicate flavor of matcha powder during whisking.
