Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk (any kind, dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Optional: toasted marshmallows for topping
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Mesh strainer
- Kitchen torch (for toasting marshmallows)
- Glass mugs
Instructions
- Heat the milk: Pour the milk into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat until it starts to gently simmer. Avoid boiling to prevent scorching and to maintain a creamy texture.
- Melt the white chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately whisk in the chopped white chocolate until it fully melts and the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Add matcha and honey: Using the mesh strainer, sift the matcha powder into the warm milk mixture to avoid clumps. Add the honey, then whisk briskly until the drink becomes frothy and all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the matcha white hot chocolate into glass mugs. If desired, top with toasted marshmallows using a kitchen torch to create a golden crust for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk or a creamy plant-based milk such as oat or coconut milk.
- If you like your drink less sweet, adjust the honey amount to taste or substitute with maple syrup.
- Matcha powder can be sifted multiple times to ensure a smooth texture without lumps.
- To toast marshmallows safely, use a kitchen torch or briefly broil them in the oven under supervision.
- This drink is best enjoyed immediately while warm and frothy.
