How to Make Matcha Milk Tea?
How to matcha milk tea? It’s simple, really! All you need is your matcha powder, the sweetener of your choice, milk (animal or vegetable-based), some ice, and some boba – this humble bunch of ingredients is all that stands between you and a deliciously refreshing drink! Come along as we break down how to make matcha tea with milk hassle-free!
What Is Matcha Milk Tea?
We’ve covered matcha milk tea before, but in a nutshell, it’s a matcha-based boba tea that mixes green tea ground into a very fine powder. Add some milk and toppings, and there you have it, simple, but oh-so tasty!
Instructions to Prepare a Matcha Milk Tea
Below, we’ve written how to make matcha tea with milk by yourself, however, you like it!
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
To make your matcha milk tea, you’ll need:
Matcha powder
Milk of your choice
Sweetener
Tapioca pearls (or other toppings!)
Hot water
Ice
Step 2: Sift the Powder
Take a teaspoon or two of your matcha powder and pour it through a fine mesh strainer placed over a bowl or container. Sifting it like this will prevent any major clumps from forming, ensuring a smooth sipping experience.
Step 3: Pour Hot Water Over the Matcha
Boil some water, and let it cool down for 10 to 15 minutes so that it arrives at a nice and toasty 175 degrees – the perfect temperature for green tea. Then, pour some water over your matcha powder and mix it around to dissolve it evenly.
Step 4: Prepare Your Milk
Whether you like it steamed or frothed, hot or room temp, get your milk of choice ready!
Step 5: Assembly
Now, for the grand finale. Put some boba at the bottom of your glass, then add your sweetener. Follow that up with some ice, your milk, and finally, the tea. Just like that, your drink is ready!
