Ingredients
- 1 tbsp aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas—yes, really!)
-
1 tbsp coconut sugar or pure maple syrup
-
1/2 tsp Matcha Nude organic matcha powder
- 1 cup plant milk (oat, almond, or coconut are all great options)
- Ice cubes (optional, for an iced version)
Directions
Whip It Good: In a mixing bowl, combine the aquafaba and sugar or syrup. Using a hand mixer (or a good old-fashioned whisk if you’re feeling ambitious), whip until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3–5 minutes.
- Add Matcha Magic: Sift the matcha powder into the whipped mixture and gently fold it in until fully combined. Pro tip: sift the matcha to avoid clumps and keep it silky smooth.
- Prepare Your Base: In your favorite glass or mug, add ice (if making it iced) and pour in your plant milk.
- Top It Off: Spoon the whipped matcha mixture over the milk, creating those signature fluffy peaks.
- Mix & Enjoy: Stir it all together before sipping, or enjoy the layers for a few seconds before mixing. Either way, it’s a treat!
