Tips

  • Culinary-grade matcha is fine here. The brighter green it is, the fresher it tastes.
  • A stick blender gets rid of stubborn matcha lumps in seconds.
  • For a softer tea flavor, use 1½ tbsp matcha.

Why it works

Matcha is whole ground tea leaf, so it brings flavor and color without adding water. A little extra sugar balances its bitterness and keeps the tubpint soft.
