* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Put the matcha, allulose and hot water in a small jar with a lid. Shake hard for 20 seconds.
Done looks like: Bright green, smooth and a little foamy, with no dark specks or lumps. Fill a glass with ice and pour in the cold milk.
Pour the matcha over the top. Stir before drinking. It has about 70 mg of caffeine, close to a small coffee.
Done looks like: A green layer sinks slowly into the white milk.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Lumps of dry powder | Matcha clumps in cold liquid, or it went straight into the milk. | Always shake or whisk it with the hot water first. Sieve the powder if your tin has hard lumps. |
| Bitter, grassy | Boiling water scorched the tea, or too much matcha. | Let the kettle sit 2 minutes off the boil. Start with 1 tsp and adjust. |

Notes
Allergies: removing an allergen from the recipe does not remove it from your kitchen or from other products. Check labels for "may contain" warnings.
Pregnancy: About 70 mg of caffeine per teaspoon of matcha. Count it toward the 200 mg a day usually advised in pregnancy.
