Matcha Green Tea Espresso Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso
• 1/2 cup of high-quality matcha green tea powder
• 1 cup of hot water (just boiled)
• 1/2 cup of ice cubes
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• Matcha powder (optional, for dusting on top)
• Sweetener of choice (honey, agave, or simple syrup, to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Matcha Green Tea:

   • Sift 1/2 cup of matcha green tea powder into a bowl to remove any lumps.
   • Heat 1 cup of water to just below boiling (around 175°F or 80°C).
   • Slowly add the hot water to the matcha powder, whisking vigorously with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small wire whisk until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy. This process is called "tencha" in Japanese.

2. Chill the Matcha:

   • Allow the prepared matcha to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it until it's well chilled.

3. Brew the Espresso:

   • Brew two shots of espresso using your espresso machine. Ensure the shots are strong and bold to stand up to the matcha flavor.

4. Blend the Ingredients:

   • In a blender, combine the chilled matcha green tea, the two shots of chilled espresso, and the ice cubes.
   • Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy, about 30 seconds to a minute.

5. Sweeten if Desired:

   • Taste the mixture and add sweetener according to your preference. You might want to start with a small amount and adjust to taste.

6. Serve:

   • Pour the blended Matcha Green Tea Espresso into a glass.
   • If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of matcha powder for a beautiful presentation and an extra hint of matcha flavor.

7. Garnish:

   • Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of lemon for a pop of color.

8. Enjoy:

   • Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon. Enjoy the refreshing blend of espresso and matcha green tea.

Tips:

• Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and color.
• Make sure the matcha is fully dissolved to avoid any gritty texture in the final drink.
• Adjust the amount of ice to achieve your preferred consistency; more ice will result in a slushier texture, while less ice will make it smoother.
• This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for serving a crowd.

This Matcha Green Tea Espresso is a perfect way to enjoy the energizing benefits of both espresso and matcha, with a delightful interplay of flavors that's sure to please your palate.
