1. Add 30g matcha in a small bowl. Optionally You can sift matcha to remove any lumps. Then add 30g of hot water (175ºF/80ºC). Whisk briskly until there is no lump (important to avoid lumps in the latte).

2. You can use a small flat whisk or chasen, the bamboo whisk used for the Japanese tea ceremony.

3. If you add sweetener, you can add 1-2 Tbsp of simple syrup now or later. Mix well to combine.

7. Sprinkle matcha powder on top of the foam. Enjoy immediately！

＜Arrange: add the whipped cream on the top＞

If you top an ice matcha latte with whipped cream instead of latte, it transforms into an exquisite dessert. The pleasant bitterness of matcha and the sweetness of cream will surely satisfy you!

Correct storage for the best flavor of Matcha ! 

To maintain the quality of Japanese Matcha and Green tea, it must be stored where it cannot come into contact with moisture or sunlight, heat or aromas, and should be used quickly after opening(2-3weeks).
When storing, place in a non-tranparent sealed container and store in a cool, dark location. When storing in the refrigerator, make sure it does not come into contact with the aromas of other foods.
