Ingredients
2 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder
2 teaspoons granulated sugar (or to taste)
¼ cup room-temperature water
6 ice cubes, crushed
½ cup milk or non-dairy milk alternative
2 ounces freshly brewed espresso
Instructions
Prepare the Matcha
In a small bowl, add the matcha powder and room-temperature water.
Whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or small whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
Sweeten the Matcha
Add the granulated sugar to the matcha mixture.
Stir until the sugar completely dissolves.
Prepare the Glass
Fill a serving glass with crushed ice.
Pour the milk or non-dairy alternative over the ice.
Brew the Espresso
Brew 2 ounces of fresh espresso.
Allow it to cool for 1–2 minutes.
Assemble the Drink
Slowly pour the prepared matcha mixture over the milk and ice.
Gently pour the espresso over the top to create a layered effect.
Serve
Stir before drinking to blend the flavors, or enjoy the layered presentation before mixing.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the smoothest flavor and vibrant green color.
Oat milk pairs especially well with both espresso and matcha.
Adjust the sugar level according to your taste preferences.
For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra shot of espresso.
Enjoy layered for presentation or fully mixed for a balanced flavor profile.
