Matcha Smoothie
Preparation
Matcha is the star of this recipe but it's a powerful addition to your favorite breakfast smoothie.
German Rock Sugar simple syrup is a sweet addition to any iced tea. Learn how to make it here.
This recipe uses whole milk. You may substitute reduced-fat milk, almond, soy milk or non-dairy creamer.
To a standard blender, add a teaspoon of Match, 4oz Half & Half, 5oz of German Rock Sugar Simple Syrup, and 16oz of ice (about a Perfect Tea Mug's full).
Pre-blend on low speed for about 30 seconds.
Blend on high for about 2 minutes until smooth consistency.
Pour into a Perfect Tea Mug and top off with whip cream and a dusting of Matcha powder.
German Rock Sugar Simple Syrup
In a 2 cup Perfect Tea Maker, add:
1 cup German Rock Sugar
1 cup hot water (208F)
Stir well and let sit until all sugar dissolves. About 5 minutes.
Strain, let cool in fridge and Ready to Use!
*We recommend for immediate use of simple syrup, use 'quick ice method' to bring temperature down. Fill Amandine pitcher with ice cubes, strain warm 16oz Perfect Tea Maker with dissolved sugar directly on Pitcher. Strain excess ice cubes with a mesh strainer, directly into a reusable container. Ready to use immediately. Simple syrup stays fresh in fridge for one week.
