Equipment
- spoon, to mix
- small pot
- serving cup
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder sifted
- ¼ cup hot water or milk
- 1 cup milk of choice I used oat
- ¼ cup white chocolate see notes
- ½ teaspoon vanilla paste or extract; optional
- pinch of salt optional
- topping of choice whipped cream, marshmallows, marshmallow fluff, etc.
Instructions
- Note: Throughout the recipe, avoid boiling your milk. Boiling can cause a skin to form, affecting the texture. The goal is to heat your milk just enough to melt the chocolate!
Make the matcha mixture:
- In a matcha bowl, sift in 1 teaspoon matcha powder. Add ¼ cup hot water and whisk in W and M motions until fully combined and frothy. Set aside.
Heat milk and white chocolate:
- In a small pot, add 1 cup milk of choice and ¼ cup white chocolate. Heat on medium-low heat (do not boil), stirring until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in matcha mixture, ½ teaspoon vanilla, and pinch of salt.
Assemble:
- In your serving mug, add matcha hot chocolate. Add topping of choice, whether it's marshmallows, marshmallow fluff, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
