πIngredients
π3 g Ceremonial matcha powder
π50 ml warm water
π150 ml chilled milk of your choice
π4-5 marshmallows
π1-2 tsp honey or sweetener of your choice
πIce cubes
π1 tbsp whipped cream for topping (optional)
πExtra marshmallows for garnish (optional)
πInstructions
π1. Prepare the Matcha
Sift 3 g of matcha powder into a ceramic bowl. Add 50 ml of warm water and whisk until the matcha is smooth and lump-free.
For the best results, use a traditional bamboo matcha whisk to blend the powder evenly and create a light, frothy consistency.
π2. Prepare the Marshmallows
Place 4-5 marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short intervals of 10-15 seconds until they soften and begin to melt. Stir gently until you get a fluffy mixture.
If the mixture is too thick, add a small splash of warm milk to make it easier to use as a topping.
π3. Sweeten the Milk
Add honey or your preferred sweetener to the chilled milk and stir well. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
You can use dairy milk or a plant-based alternative such as oat, almond, or soy milk.
π4. Fill the Glass with Ice
Add ice cubes to a tall glass. Pour in the sweetened milk, leaving enough space at the top for the matcha and marshmallow topping.
π5. Β Add the Matcha
Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the milk and ice. Pouring gently over the back of a spoon helps create a beautiful contrast between the creamy milk and vibrant green matcha.
π6. Add the Marshmallow Topping
Spoon the softened marshmallow mixture over the matcha layer. Add whipped cream if desired for a richer, dessert-like finish.
For an extra indulgent touch, place a few mini marshmallows on top.
π7. Garnish and Serve
Garnish with extra marshmallows and serve immediately. Give your Marshmallow Iced Matcha a gentle stir before drinking to combine the matcha, milk, and sweet marshmallow flavours.
Your creamy and refreshing Marshmallow Iced Matcha is ready to enjoy!

πExpert Tips
For the best results, sift your matcha powder to remove lumps and create a smooth mixture. Use warm water instead of boiling water to preserve matchaβs delicate flavour. Melt the marshmallows in short intervals to prevent overheating, and choose dairy or oat milk for a creamier texture. Since marshmallows already contain sugar, start with a small amount of honey or another sweetener and adjust to taste.Β
