Blender / Frother
Prepare your Matcha: Retrieve your JAR of Ceremonial Matcha from the freezer and allow it to come to room temperature. This protects its delicate flavor and aroma.
Whisk the base: Scoop your matcha into a bowl. Add a splash of 80ºC water—just enough to form a smooth, even paste. Use a chasen (bamboo whisk) in gentle circular motions to dissolve any clumps.
Create the crema: Pour in 1 to 2 oz of hot water and whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion until a layer of fine, emerald microfoam forms on the surface.
Craft the banana cold foam: In a separate bowl or blender, combine whipping cream or chilled coconut milk with banana purée, a dash of vanilla extract, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Whip or froth until light, airy, and slightly thickened. Tip: For extra stability, use a handheld milk frother.
Assemble with care: Gently spoon or pour the banana cold foam over your prepared matcha. Top with a thin slice of fresh banana or a dusting of matcha powder, if desired.
Sip with intention: Enjoy the harmony of creamy banana and vibrant matcha — a layered experience of sweet, lush, and green.
