Matcha Spanner

Ingredients

• 3.6 g matcha powder (Rocky’s Matcha; use less for a milder flavor. Some additional matcha is used for dusting.)
• 36 ml water
• 25 ml heavy cream (For the cream top.)
• 10 ml milk (For the cream top.)
• 3 tsp simple syrup (For the cream top.)
• ice (Enough to fill a glass.)
• 75 ml milk (For the drink base.)
• matcha powder (For dusting the finished drink.)
• salt (A sprinkle, to enhance the matcha flavor.)

Steps

1. 1

   Combine approximately 3.6 g matcha powder with 36 ml water. Whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined, then set the matcha aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the cream top with 25 ml heavy cream, 10 ml milk, and 3 teaspoons simple syrup. Mix until it is lightly fluffy; the intended texture is softer and less thick than a heavily whipped cream.

3. 3

   Fill a serving glass with ice.

4. 4

   Pour approximately 75 ml milk over the ice.

5. 5

   Add the prepared cream top to the glass.

6. 6

   Pour the whisked matcha into the drink.

7. 7

   Dust the surface with a little matcha powder and finish with a sprinkle of salt. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

The matcha is intended to be unsweetened; most of the sweetness comes from the cream top. The source does not specify the exact cream-whipping method or texture endpoint beyond describing it as fluffier and less thick than the original.
