• Sweetener (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave syrup
• Garnish (optional)
  • A sprinkle of matcha powder

Instructions

Step 1

Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps.

Step 2

Add the hot water and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion (using a bamboo whisk or milk frother) until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.

In a small saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, froth cold oat milk using a milk frother.

Step 4

If using, stir in your preferred sweetener to the steaming oat milk.

Step 5

Pour the prepared matcha into a mug.

Step 6

Slowly add the steamed (or frothed) oat milk, holding back the foam with a spoon. Spoon the foam on top.

Step 7

Garnish with a light dusting of matcha powder, if desired. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
