Ingredients
- 1 tsp high-quality matcha powder

- 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based, such as almond, soy, or oat milk
- 1-2 tsp honey or sweetener of your choice optional

Instructions
- Prepare the Matcha: Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl to remove any clumps.

- Combine the Matcha and Milk: Pour the whisked matcha into a mug.
- Add honey or your preferred sweetener to the matcha, if using, and stir to combine.
