It’s not just a drink; it’s a little escape in a glass. The rich coconut and sweet condensed milk perfectly balance the unique taste of the green tea, making it feel like a fancy treat from a cafe—but you can make it in minutes right at home. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for a slow afternoon or a refreshing reward after a long day.

Note
- Quality is Key: Use high-quality matcha powder. Ceremonial grade is the best for flavor and color, but a good quality culinary grade will also work well.
- Avoid Clumps: Sifting the matcha powder before adding water is the best way to prevent clumps. If you don't have a sifter, whisking it vigorously with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or even a small kitchen whisk will do the trick.
- Hot, Not Boiling: Use hot water (around 70-80°C or 160-175°F) for the matcha. Boiling water can make the matcha taste bitter.
- Proper Matcha Prep: Make sure the matcha and water are fully combined before you add it to the other ingredients. You want a smooth, concentrated shot of matcha.
- Taste as You Go: The condensed milk is very sweet. You might want to start with a little less than the recipe calls for and add more to taste.
