Ingredients
Scale
Cold Foam
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tbsp mocha sauce (or chocolate syrup)
Matcha Mixture
- 1 ½ tsp pure matcha powder (sifted)
- 3 tbsp hot water
Beverage
- 1 cup milk of choice (2% milk recommended)
- 2 tbsp pistachio sauce
- Ice
- Toasted Kataifi (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Make the cold foam: Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and mocha sauce (or chocolate syrup) in a small glass or mason jar. Froth the mixture using a milk frother for 20-30 seconds until it becomes light and foamy. Set aside.
- Prepare the matcha: Sift the matcha powder through a fine mesh strainer to remove clumps. Whisk the sifted matcha with hot water until smooth and fully combined. Set this aside.
- Assemble the drink: Fill a tall glass with ice. Stir together the milk and pistachio sauce until the mixture is smooth and no clumps remain, then pour it over the ice. Add the prepared matcha and stir gently to combine all flavors.
- Finish and serve: Top the drink with the chocolate cold foam created earlier. Garnish with toasted Kataifi if desired for an added crunch and unique texture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Sifting the matcha powder is important to prevent clumps and achieve a smooth drink.
- You can substitute the mocha sauce with chocolate syrup if desired.
- Use your preferred type of milk; 2% milk provides a good balance of creaminess.
- Toasted Kataifi is optional but adds a wonderful crispy topping.
- For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream and whole milk with plant-based alternatives and use vegan chocolate syrup.
