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
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Pour 2 cups of your preferred milk into a saucepan and heat it gently over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Avoid boiling to prevent scalding the milk.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup of chopped white chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Matcha and Honey: Using a mesh strainer, sift 1 tablespoon of matcha powder into the milk mixture to prevent lumps. Add 1 tablespoon of honey for natural sweetness. Whisk briskly until the mixture is frothy and all ingredients are fully blended.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the warm matcha white hot chocolate into glass mugs. For an extra indulgent touch, top each cup with toasted marshmallows using a kitchen torch if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use any type of milk to suit dietary preferences: whole, almond, oat, or soy milk work well.
- To toast marshmallows safely, use a kitchen torch or broil briefly under supervision.
- Adjust honey amount to taste or substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetener.
- For a richer drink, use white chocolate with a higher cocoa butter content.
- Ensure matcha powder is of good quality for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
