Notes

1. Quality matcha is paramount for a vibrant color and authentic flavor. Always sift your matcha powder to prevent lumps, ensuring a smooth, uniform texture.2. When whisking matcha, use water that is hot, but not boiling (around 175°F/80°C). Boiling water can scald the matcha, resulting in a bitter taste.3. Adjust the sugar to your preference; some prefer a less sweet or unsweetened latte to appreciate the matcha's natural notes. Alternatively, a touch of maple syrup or honey can be used.4. For a beautiful layered effect, pour the whisked matcha slowly over the back of a spoon onto the milk and ice, allowing it to settle before gently stirring.
