Total Time:15 minutes
Yield:2 servings
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
2 cups milk (any kind)
1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon matcha
1 tablespoon honey
Optional Topping
Toasted marshmallows
Instructions
Prepare Matcha Mixture: In a small bowl, sift 1 tablespoon of matcha powder through a mesh strainer to remove any clumps. Set aside.
Heat Milk and Chocolate: Pour 2 cups of milk into a saucepan and warm over medium heat until it begins to steam but not boil. Add the 1/2 cup of chopped white chocolate and 1 tablespoon honey, stirring continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add Matcha to Milk: Gradually whisk the sifted matcha powder into the warm milk and white chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and frothy.
Serve: Pour the matcha white hot chocolate into glass mugs. Optionally, top with toasted marshmallows. To toast marshmallows, use a kitchen torch to carefully brown the marshmallows on top until golden and slightly melted.
Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Use any milk variety you prefer, such as dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk.
For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and a vegan white chocolate substitute.
Sifting matcha helps prevent clumps and creates a smoother drink.
To toast marshmallows safely, hold the kitchen torch a few inches above until golden brown, avoid burning.
Adjust honey amount to taste depending on desired sweetness.
If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can skip the toasted marshmallow topping or toast them briefly under a broiler with careful attention.
