- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 tsp matcha powder*
- Ice cubes (to preference)
*Ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- Add the milk, fresh mint leaves, maple syrup, and vanilla to a blender and blend to break down the mint leaves.
- Add in the matcha powder and blend again to combine everything smoothly.
- For a cold matcha: pour over ice, garnish with more fresh mint, and enjoy!
- For a hot matcha: heat in a small pot on the stovetop over low heat until steam rises off the milk. Be careful to not boil the milk. Pour into a mug and enjoy!
Notes
Approximate Cost: $1.30 Canadian using fresh mint from my garden. Using peppermint extract would add about 10 cents to my cost. In comparison, a tall (small) matcha latte from a cafe costs me over $5.
