This treat is best enjoyed fresh, ideally with a cup of green tea. Sifting matcha before adding liquid is the single best way to avoid clumps. Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning to your liking.

Method

  1. Sift the matcha into a bowl, add the hot water and whisk until smooth and frothy with no lumps.

  2. Stir the honey into the cold milk and pour it over ice in a clear glass.

  3. Slowly pour the matcha over the back of a spoon so it floats on top in a distinct green layer.

  4. Serve with a straw and stir just before drinking.

Chef's note

Dust your hands and surface with potato starch when handling mochi.
