Ingredients

• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 4 g matcha powder
• 30 ml hot water (80°C / 176°F)
• 100 ml milk of your choice
• Topping: Whipped cream with cinnamon + extra cinnamon for dusting

How to Make It

Start by combining the brown sugar and matcha in a cup or small bowl. Pour the 30 ml of hot water over the mixture and stir until it forms a smooth, glossy paste, this helps the matcha dissolve evenly and enhances both the sweetness and the flavor.

Once the paste is ready, heat your milk and pour it into the cup. Stir to blend everything together into a warm, cozy matcha drink.

Finish by spooning a generous layer of whipped cream on top and dusting with cinnamon. This final touch adds both holiday aroma and that classic winter feeling.
