matcha shake?

[shimo]

Does anyone have any recipes they would like to share on making these?

I have just read some basics with matcha/soy milk/sweetener.

Just curious if anyone has made these and loves the way they come out.

Thanks!

Great to see another tea lover from NEPA

I havent tried this myself as of yet, but I would imagine you could follow any basic milkshake recipe and instead of adding choclate, fruit, etc. use matcha.

I found this https://www.teas.com.au/Recipes-Drink-M ... 1&CatID=12 which is basically what I suggested haha

Here is a smoothie recipie from teapigs

Matcha smoothie as created and served in Fifteen Restaurant London.

2g (approx 1/2 tea spoon matcha)

1/2 an apple,

1/4 a stick of celery,

2 sprigs mint

1/2 banana

1/2 a pear

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend

Matcha latte

1g (approx 1/4 teaspoon matcha)

200ml of milk

honey or sugar to taste

In a cup or mug use 60ml of warmed milk to whisk the matcha into a paste

Add the sweetener and the rest of the warmed milk, whisk well.

Matcha can also be sprinkled on fruit, cereal, added to cakes, chocolate

I take about 1/2 teaspoon of hersheys chocolate syrup and a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of matcha....mix them together. The viscosity of the syrup allows the matcha to dissolve without clumping......and adds a yummy background flavor. Then I fold it into a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream. You could add milk and have a shake.

yumm all these sound so good!

Thanks for the input everyone! anyone else have any secrets?

I plan to make some "matcha" shake. But I plan to use just green tea powder from Asian store. It's much less expensive than matcha, with a flavor very close to matcha and the major difference is the powder is not as fine as matcha powder in terms of the particle size. The particle size difference matters a lot in tea drinking but doesn't matter much in a shake. Most Asian bubble tea shop use green tea powder instead of real matcha, otherwise their matcha shake would be much more expensive

Of course there's always the matcha ice cream. Blend vanilla ice cream with matcha. I have never had nicer ice cream than that!
