Instructions
1
Whisk the Matcha: Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl (crucial to avoid clumps). Add the hot water. Whisk vigorously in a "W" motion using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or electric frother until a dense foam forms.
2
Prep the Rose Milk: In your serving glass, combine the milk and rose syrup. Stir well. If you want a pink hue, you can add a tiny drop of red food coloring or a pinch of beetroot powder here.
3
Ice It: Fill the glass to the top with ice cubes. The ice acts as a barrier to help layer the drink.

Garnish: Sprinkle dried rose petals on top for that final aesthetic touch. Stir before drinking!
Don't use boiling water!
Matcha is delicate. If you use boiling water (100°C), you will scorch the leaves, turning the tea brown and bitter. Aim for 80°C (175°F) to preserve the vibrant green color and sweet umami flavor. Learn more in our Matcha Expert Guide.
