Whisked Iced Matcha Almond Milk
4.8(898 ratings)A bamboo whisk does something a spoon never can, breaking matcha into a fine foam that tastes smoother and sweeter. Almond milk keeps things light and lets the tea shine. This is the drink to make when you want a moment of ritual, a few quiet minutes of whisking before a busy afternoon.

Method

Step 1: Soak the bamboo whisk tines in a little warm water for a minute so they soften and do not snap while whisking.
-
Step 2: Sift the matcha into a wide bowl, add the water and whisk briskly in an M or W motion for 20 to 30 seconds until a fine foam forms.
-
Step 3: Stir the yacon syrup and salt into the cold almond milk, then pour it into a cut glass filled with ice.
-
Step 4: Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the top, letting it cascade through the milk, and stir gently just before drinking.
