Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of Matcha Powder
- 1 cup of Oat Milk
- 1 tablespoon of Lavender Syrup
- Ice (as needed)
- Lavender Flowers (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, 1 cup of oat milk, 1 tablespoon of lavender syrup, ice, and optional lavender flowers for garnish.
- In a small bowl or cup, sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps. This will help create a smooth and creamy texture in your drink.
- Add a small amount of oat milk (about 2 tablespoons) to the sifted matcha powder. Whisk together using a bamboo whisk or a small regular whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of clumps.
- Once the matcha is well mixed, gradually add the remaining oat milk while continuing to whisk. This will help to incorporate the matcha evenly throughout the milk.
- In a separate glass, fill it with ice cubes to your desired level. The ice will chill your drink and give it a refreshing quality.
- Pour the matcha and oat milk mixture over the ice-filled glass.
- Drizzle the lavender syrup over the top of the drink. You can adjust the amount of syrup based on your sweetness preference.
- Gently stir the drink to combine the lavender syrup with the matcha and oat milk mixture.
- If desired, garnish your iced lavender cream oatmilk matcha with a few lavender flowers on top for a beautiful presentation and added aroma.
- Enjoy your homemade iced lavender cream oatmilk matcha immediately, savoring the unique blend of flavors!
Tips
- Quality Matters: Use high-grade ceremonial matcha powder for the most authentic and rich flavor profile.
- Whisking Technique: When mixing matcha, use a bamboo whisk (or chasen) in a "W" motion to prevent clumping and create a smooth texture.
- Temperature Control: Use cold oat milk to maintain the drink's refreshing quality and prevent the matcha from becoming bitter.
- Syrup Customization: Adjust the lavender syrup quantity to suit your personal sweetness preference.
- Aesthetic Garnish: For an Instagram-worthy presentation, use fresh lavender flowers or a light dusting of matcha powder on top.
- Chill Factor: Use large, clear ice cubes to keep your drink cold without diluting the flavors too quickly.
- Storage Tip: If preparing ahead, store the matcha mixture separately and add ice and syrup just before serving to maintain optimal taste and texture.
