Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons high-quality matcha powder
- 2 ounces dark chocolate
- 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
- Sweetener to taste (maple syrup, honey, or sugar)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients to make the process smooth and fun.
- Heat the milk: In a saucepan, gently warm your chosen milk over medium heat. Avoid boiling it, as that can change the texture.
- Melt the chocolate: Once the milk is warm, add in your dark chocolate, letting it melt slowly. Stir frequently until smoothly blended.
- Whisk in the matcha: In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to avoid lumps, then whisk in a few tablespoons of warm milk to make a matcha paste. Gently stir this paste into your chocolate mixture.
- Sweeten to taste: Taste the mixture and add your sweetener if desired. Stir until combined.
- Serve it up: Pour your 4-Ingredient Matcha Hot Chocolate into your favorite mug, and top it with whipped cream or a sprinkle of matcha for a beautiful finish.
- Enjoy: Take a moment to savor your creation.
Notes
Using a hand-held frother can create an inviting foam. Avoid overheating the milk to maintain the perfect texture.
