Matcha milk tea has become popular for people seeking a pleasant beverage. How to make matcha milk tea? FGC will provide a comprehensive guideline in this article.
Introduction
Matcha milk tea has recently become very familiar to young people. The earthy flavors of matcha powder and the creaminess of milk combine to create a delightful and energizing beverage. In this guide, we will explore the core ingredients of this drink and an easy matcha milk tea recipe.
What is matcha milk tea?
Matcha milk tea, also called matcha boba tea or matcha bubble tea, is a variation of traditional milk tea that originated from Taiwan. The novelty of this drink is the blending of matcha, a premium finely ground green tea. Matcha milk tea is a tasty and pleasing treat thanks to its rich flavor, creamy texture, chewy boba, and vivid green hue. The green matcha layer contrasts beautifully with the topping boba and creamy milk, creating a visual and taste feast.
Matcha powder, which is earthy and slightly bitter, is combined with milk and then sweetened to obtain a well-balanced flavor. It is then served with a signature topping of milk tea and chewy tapioca pearls. Matcha milk tea is often enjoyed cold and is a sought-after beverage among worldwide consumers, especially young people.
What are the ingredients to make matcha milk tea?
Matcha powder
Matcha powder is the key ingredient for the green color and flavor of matcha milk tea. It has a rich and earthy flavor with hints of bitterness and sweetness. High-quality matcha will bring the best taste, hue, and experience. Generally, ceremonial matcha is considered the highest grade of matcha. However, culinary grade is quite common for making milk tea.
Milk
Milk can balance the matcha’s robust flavor and add creaminess. You can choose any milk, such as dairy, and non-dairy options, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk. If you prefer a creamier texture, whole milk will be a great choice. Besides, plant-based milk suits those who enjoy the nutty notes.
Sweeteners
Sweeteners are added to enhance the overall taste of matcha milk tea. Some common sweeteners used are honey, sugar, syrup, and caramel. Start with a small amount and then gradually adjust to suit your taste.
Toppings
The most popular topping for milk tea is tapioca pearls, chewy balls made from tapioca starch. They bring an enjoyable feeling with a smooth and bouncy texture with a hint of sweetness. With tapioca pearls, the matcha milk tea will become more like a snack or treat. Today, with the improvements of milk tea shops, many toppings have been added, such as puddings, jellies, or cream cheese.
How to make matcha milk tea?
Step 1: Cook the tapioca pearls
Add water to a pot and boil it. Put the pearls into the pot and stir gently. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes or longer, depending on the types of pearls. Turn off the heat and allow them to rest for 5 more minutes. Rinse the pearls with cold water to prevent sticking. Put the pearls in a bowl and soak them with brown sugar.
Step 2: Prepare the matcha
Sift the matcha: Sifting the matcha before whisking can help remove clumps. Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl using a small sieve. You can adjust the strength and richness by changing the amount of matcha powder.
Whisk the matcha: It is recommended to soak the chasen, a bamboo whisk, in warm water for 1-2 minutes to soften the bamboo barbs and avoid breakage. Add 2-3 tablespoons of hot water, but not boiling, into the bowl of sifted matcha. Use the chasen to whisk in a W or M motion until the matcha dissolves and is frothy. Using an electric frother is fine if you do not have a chasen.
If you expect sweeter matcha milk tea, add sweeteners like honey, sugar, or syrup. Remember to dissolve completely.
Step 3: Assemble the drink
Add tapioca pearls to the bottom of a glass. Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes. Add milk and then gently pour the matcha mixture over the milk. It will bring a layered effect with appealing colors from matcha, milk, and boba. Use a large straw and stir well to enjoy.
