Drink of the summer✨

As the summer heat sets in, finding refreshing beverages becomes essential, and iced matcha is an excellent choice for those warm days. Matcha, known for its vibrant green color and rich antioxidants, provides not only a flavorful experience but also health benefits. For the best iced matcha, start with high-quality matcha powder, such as Kanbayashi Zuhui, that guarantees a fresh and earthy taste. The balance of using cold water and oatmilk adds a creamy texture, making it similar yet distinct from a regular matcha Americano. To prepare your iced matcha: begin by sifting 4g of matcha powder to remove any lumps, ensuring a smooth mix. Combine your matcha with 3oz of cold water and whisk or froth until fully dissolved. Then, incorporate 2oz of Califia barista blend oatmilk for that creamy consistency and add 11g of maple syrup to sweeten the drink to your liking. This unique recipe not only satisfies your thirst, but it also keeps you energized without the jitters often associated with coffee. This delicious drink can be customized; feel free to experiment with different non-dairy milks or sweeteners to suit your taste. With summer's long, sunny days, having a go-to recipe like iced matcha will make your afternoons enjoyable. So, whether you are lounging by the pool or enjoying a picnic in the park, reach for this invigorating drink that's sure to impress friends and family alike.
