Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp matcha green tea powder
  • 3 tbsp simple syrup
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups ice
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch matcha powder (for topping)

Method
 

  1. Add 2 tsp matcha powder and 3 tbsp simple syrup to the blender with 2 tbsp of the milk. Blend on low for about 20 seconds until no clumps remain.
  2. Add the rest of the 1 cup milk and the 2 cups ice. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth and thick with no ice chunks.
  3. Whisk the 3 tbsp heavy cream and 1 tsp powdered sugar in a small bowl for 60 to 90 seconds until soft peaks form.
  4. Pour the frappuccino into a 16 oz glass, spoon the whipped cream on top, dust with a pinch of matcha powder, and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is sized for one 16 oz serving, so if you are making it for two people, just double everything and blend in batches rather than trying to cram it all in at once. The whipped cream is best made right before serving since it starts to thin out as it sits.
