Delicious Iced Matcha with Coconut Milk

This iced matcha drink is a good mix of matcha powder and coconut milk – it results in a smooth and cool beverage. The flavor has earth tones plus a little sweetness. The coconut milk adds a rich smoothness that works with the matcha.

Ingredients

One teaspoon matcha green tea powder

One cup hot water (not boiling)

Half cup coconut milk (canned or carton)

Sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup or stevia, optional)

Ice cubes

Coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Make Matcha: Use a bowl to whisk matcha powder with hot water until it dissolves and becomes frothy. A matcha whisk or small electric frother works best.

Mix with Coconut Milk: Use a separate glass to join coconut milk and sweetener, if desired. Stir until it is all mixed.

Put the Drink Together: Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour the coconut milk mixture over the ice. Pour the matcha on top slowly for a layered effect.

Garnish and Serve: Add coconut flakes, if desired, along with enjoying the cool iced matcha with coconut milk!

(I favor maple syrup to sweeten but optional.)
