What Is Matcha Cold Foam?

Matcha cold foam is a creamy, lightly sweetened topping made by whipping matcha powder, milk, and sugar. Pour it over iced coffee, tea, or even lemonade. It’s like giving your drink a tiny, delicious hat.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

Steps:

  1. Wake Up the Matcha: Mix matcha powder and cold water in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. No clumps allowed—they’re the party poopers of foam.
  2. Sweeten the Deal: Add sugar and milk to the matcha mix. Stir gently. Taste. Adjust sugar if needed (we won’t tell your dentist).
  3. Froth Like a Boss: Use a milk frother, handheld mixer, or a jar with a lid. Froth for 20 seconds until soft peaks form. If using a jar, shake like you’re mad at yesterday’s weather.
  4. Assemble the Magic: Fill a glass with ice. Pour your favorite cold drink (coffee, tea, oat milk) halfway. Spoon foam on top. Admire your creation.
  5. Optional Flex: Dust extra matcha on the foam. Take a photo. Post it. Wait for likes.
