Matcha Hot Chocolate

A cozy, creamy, warm cup of hot chocolate with the calm energy of matcha is a perfect winter drink for a late-night craving or a comforting drink. The earth notes of Bree Matcha elevate the rich cocoa flavor and make it more balanced and naturally calming. 

📌 Ingredients (Serves 1)

🍃 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

🍃 1 tbsp cocoa powder

🍃 1 tsp Matcha 

🍃 1–2 tbsp sugar or honey (adjust to taste)

🍃 2 tbsp hot water

🍃 ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

📌 Instructions

🍃 Matcha preparation: Whisk matcha with 2 tbsp hot water in a bowl until lump-free, smooth, and frothy.  

🍃 Make the hot chocolate base: Warm milk on a low heat in a saucepan, add sugar and cocoa powder to it. Whisk it until the cocoa powder dissolves in the milk.

🍃 Combine both: Pour the matcha mixture into the hot chocolate and whisk until everything is well blended and creamy.

🍃Add vanilla: Add vanilla extract (if using).

🍃 Serve: Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy warm.

✨Quick Note

Matcha can burn if heated too much, so always add it after the cocoa base is warm and smooth. Adjust the sweetness depending on the cocoa you use.
