Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Garnish (Optional)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or whipped topping
Instructions
- Combine ingredients. In a blender, add the milk, matcha green tea powder, your choice of sweetener (honey or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
- Blend. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy, ensuring the matcha is fully incorporated and the ice is crushed to create a creamy frappe texture.
- Taste and adjust. Sample your drink and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Serve. Pour the frappe into a glass and, if you like, top it with heavy cream or whipped topping for extra creaminess and garnish.
- Enjoy immediately. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing creamy matcha frappe right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ceremonial-grade matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
- For a vegan-friendly version, substitute dairy milk with plant-based milk and use coconut whipped cream instead of heavy cream.
- Freezing milk in ice cube trays beforehand can help achieve an extra creamy texture.
