Ingredients
3 ounces green tea(any kind you like)
3 teaspoons honey
4 ounces milk
8 ice cubes
1 teaspoon vanilla syrup (optional, but good with it)
Step 1. Stir in 3 teaspoons of honey if tea’s not already sweetened, you can adjust to taste.
Step 2. Add in 4 ounces of steamed milk with or without the foam.
Step 3. (Optional) Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup or 1/2tsp. vanilla bean paste.
Step 4. Drink as is or for a cold version, add ice cubes and blend in a blender until smooth or just pouring it over ice instead of blending it.
I would steep lose tea in a small amount of water for a about 5 minutes. Pout the contents of the tea in a cup followed by adding your steamed mlk.
AT STARBUCKS wE USE MATCHA POWDER WITH MELON SYRUP AND A LITTLE BIT OF HOT WATER TO MELT THE MATCHA AND THE REST IS STEAMED MILK.
You want Matcha Powder!! (yum)
Steam enuf milk for a (16 oz) cup full;
Add1 teaspoon Matcha powder per 6 ounces of steamed milk.
Your espresso machine will whip up a coffee drink. You don’t want to add espresso to your tea. Eww. Try goin to your local health food store nd ask for that Matcha powder or buy online for $30 per lb., cheap cauz its not as a high grade product. The Japanese limit the amount of actual Matcha… But it has so many health benefits for you! 10xs as many antioxidants as hot Green Tea would..
OR
16 oz steaming water
2 tea bags of green tea
(let steep for 3-4 mins)
2 teaspoons honey
Splash of milk
