Ingredients
  

2 teaspoons culinary grade matcha powder

1 cup hot water (not boiling, about 175°F)

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Cocoa powder or matcha powder for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Whisk the Matcha: In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder using a fine sieve to remove any lumps. Add hot water and use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a frother to whisk until it becomes a bright green, frothy liquid. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

    Sweeten It Up: Stir in honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt into the matcha mixture until fully dissolved.

      Froth the Milk: In a saucepan or using a milk frother, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming. Use a frother or whisk to create a thick froth, or simply shake the milk in a jar with a tight lid until foamy and flowing.

        Combine: Pour the matcha mixture into a large mug, then slowly pour the frothed milk on top. Hold back the foam with a spoon to ensure a creamy, layered look.

          Garnish: Dust the top of your matcha cappuccino with cocoa powder or an extra sprinkle of matcha for an added touch of elegance.

            Serve: Enjoy your Matcha Madness Cappuccino while it’s warm, and relish in the rich flavors and vibrant colors of this drink.
