Are you looking for a cool, refreshing way to beat the summer heat? 🌿 🌞 Look no further! This Matcha Granita is a delightful twist on your classic matcha latte, perfect for a hot summer day. Think of it as your favorite drink, but frozen and fabulously fun to eat! ❄️
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 1.5 cups plant milk (your choice—almond, oat, soy, you name it! 🥛)
- 1/2 cup water 💧
- 2 teaspoons Matcha Nude 🍵
- (Optional) sweetened condensed coconut or oat milk for that extra creamy touch 🌴🥥
How to Make It:
- Whisk It Good: In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha and water until the matcha is completely dissolved. This is your base, and it’s going to be awesome! 🎨
- Mix & Freeze: Pour your matcha mixture into a baking dish (the wider the dish, the eaiser the scraping). Stir in your plant milk until well combined. Pop it in the freezer and let it chill for about 4 hours, or until it’s almost frozen solid. 🧊
- Scrape the Ice: When you’re ready to enjoy, take the dish out of the freezer and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Grab a fork and start scraping! You want to get nice, granular pieces of ice that are oh-so-refreshing. 🥄
- Serve & Drizzle: Scoop your matcha granita into glasses and drizzle with sweetened condensed milk if you like it a bit sweeter. This step is optional, but highly recommended for that extra indulgence! 🍯 If you don't want to use the sweetened condensed milk, consider adding a sweetener like pure maple syrup in step 2.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve right away and savor the cool, invigorating taste of your homemade Matcha Granita. Perfect for cooling down on a scorching summer day! 🌞
