INGREDIENTS

Serves 1

1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Healthy Chef Matcha Tea

freshly boiled water

1 - 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, your choice

few sprigs of fresh mint, to garnish, optional

METHOD

CREATE a matcha shot by firstly sifting Matcha Tea into a small bowl.

POUR a bit of freshly boiled water into the bowl. Ensure your hot water has cooled slightly to 70°C / 158°F.

WHISK the Matcha Tea and boiled water together until smooth. Ideally, use a Matcha Whisk to do this.

SCOOP vanilla ice cream into a serving bowl or glass.

POUR matcha shot over the ice cream.

GARNISH with fresh mint and enjoy.

NOTES & INSPIRATION

For a stronger matcha shot, feel free to use up to 1 teaspoon of Matcha Tea powder.

If you'd like to add your own sweetener whilst making the matcha shot, feel free to do so. We'd suggest honey, maple or monkfruit.
