My notes
Tips
- Use culinary or latte-grade matcha. It stands up to milk and costs much less than ceremonial grade.
- Matcha has caffeine, and there is no true decaf version. For less caffeine, use 2 tsp matcha. The color will be paler.
- Keep opened matcha sealed in the fridge. It loses its bright color and fresh taste quickly at room temperature.
Why it works
Matcha is finely ground whole tea leaf, so it brings color and flavor without extra water. Sugar and milk solids keep the base from freezing hard, and the cold milk added at the end turns the shaved ice into a thick, creamy latte.
