1

Warm the coconut milk

Heat 1 cup full-fat coconut milk gently in a small saucepan over medium-low heat or microwave for 60–90 seconds. Do not boil; you want warm and creamy, not scorched.
2

Whisk the matcha

In a mug or small bowl, combine 1 tsp matcha with ¼ cup hot water. Whisk vigorously in a zigzag or circular motion until fully dissolved and slightly frothy with no clumps.
3

Sweeten (optional)

Stir in 1 tsp honey or maple syrup until fully incorporated. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.
4

Combine & serve

Pour the warm coconut milk into the matcha. Stir gently, pour into your favorite mug, and sip like the sophisticated tea-drinking legend you are.

Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the smoothest, least bitter flavor. Culinary grade works but won't be as vibrant.

Full-fat coconut milk gives the richest, creamiest texture. Lite or carton coconut milk works for a lighter version.

Keep water under 175°F. Boiling water makes matcha bitter and sad.

Want it iced? Let the matcha cool, then pour over a full glass of ice before adding cold coconut milk.

Add a pinch of vanilla powder or cardamom to the matcha for a cozy seasonal twist.
