Matcha coffee preparation

Ingredients for Matcha Coffee

For the Matcha coffee:

• 150 ml milk (regular or plant-based alternative)
• ice cubes

For the coffee:

• 2 tablespoons instant coffee
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 30 ml water

For the Matcha tea:

preparation

1. Prepare the coffee: Dissolve the instant coffee and brown sugar in 30 ml of hot water. The mixture should be strong and aromatic—a solid base for our matcha coffee.
2. Prepare matcha: To make the matcha tea, mix the teaspoon of matcha powder with 60 ml of hot water. Make sure the matcha powder is completely dissolved to preserve its characteristic green color and delicate flavor.
3. Assemble matcha coffee: Pour the prepared coffee into a drinking glass and add ice cubes and milk. Then carefully pour the matcha tea over the coffee and milk mixture. The layering of the two liquids creates an appealing visual experience.
4. Special twist: For an extra treat, you can add steamed milk. This gives the drink a creamy texture, making matcha coffee even more special.

Matcha coffee is more than just a beverage—it's a symphony of flavors and traditions. The coffee brings the depth and robustness of a good cup of coffee, while the matcha latte contributes its gentle yet characteristic energy and the nuances of Japanese green tea. The use of organic matcha not only guarantees excellent quality but also an authentic experience. The energizing effect of this drink makes it ideal for the morning or as an afternoon beverage. For those who prefer a dairy-free version, the regular milk can be replaced with plant-based alternatives such as almond, soy, or oat milk. These alternatives complement the foamed milk and create an equally delicious experience. Overall, matcha coffee not only provides enough energy to build muscle but also a moment of calm and indulgence, inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony. Try this unique drink and experience its energizing effect and refined taste for yourself.
