Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Milk Any type works wonders here; for a dairy-free option, use almond or oat milk.

  • 1 tablespoon Matcha Go for culinary-grade matcha for the best flavor and affordability.
For Sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon Honey This natural sweetener enhances the flavors; feel free to adjust based on your taste or swap it for maple syrup.
Optional Toppings
  • Toasted Marshmallows A delightful addition for both flavor and texture; use a kitchen torch for a perfect toasting finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Matcha White Hot Chocolate
  1. In a medium saucepan, pour 2 cups of your preferred milk and heat over medium heat. Stir occasionally until small bubbles form around the edges, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Once the milk is heated, remove it from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of chopped white chocolate, stirring continuously until completely melted.
  3. Sift 1 tablespoon of culinary-grade matcha directly into the melted chocolate mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and whisk vigorously until clumps are gone and well combined.
  4. Taste your Creamy Matcha White Hot Chocolate. Add more honey if needed, along with a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor.
  5. Pour into favorite mugs and optionally top with toasted marshmallows.
