📌Ingredients

🍃2 tsp Bree Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder

🍃60 ml cold milk (dairy or plant-based)

🍃1 tbsp heavy cream

🍃1 tsp maple syrup or honey

📌For the Affogato Base

🍃2 scoops vanilla ice cream

🍃30 ml freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee

🍃1 tsp matcha powder (for dusting)

🍃Ice cubes (optional)

📌Instructions

🍃1. Prepare the Matcha Base

1. Sift 2 tsp Bree Ceremonial Grade Matcha into a matcha bowl to remove any clumps.
   
2. Add 30 ml of warm water (80°C / 176°F) to the bowl.
   
3. Using a bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) or an electric milk frother, whisk vigorously in a "W" motion until the matcha is smooth and frothy with no lumps.
   

🍃2. Create the Matcha Cloud

1. In a separate mixing bowl, combine:

• 60 ml cold milk
  
• 1 tbsp heavy cream
  
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
  
• The prepared whisked matcha
  

1. Use a milk frother or hand whisk to whip the mixture until it becomes thick, airy, and cloud-like.
   
   
2. Continue frothing for 1–2 minutes until soft peaks form.

🍃3. Assemble the Affogato

1. Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to a serving glass.
   
2. If desired, add a few ice cubes around the ice cream for an extra-chilled dessert.
   
3. Gently spoon the fluffy matcha cloud over the ice cream, creating a thick layer on top.
   

🍃4. Pour the Espresso

1. Brew a fresh shot (30 ml) of espresso or strong coffee.
   
2. Slowly pour the hot espresso directly over the centre of the matcha cloud.
   
3. Watch as the espresso cascades through the cloud and melts into the ice cream below.
   

🍃5. Garnish and Serve

1. Lightly dust the top with a pinch of ceremonial-grade matcha powder.
   
2. Serve immediately while the contrast between the hot espresso, ice cream, and creamy matcha cloud is at its best.
   
3. Enjoy every spoonful of this café-style Affogato Matcha Cloud.
