Notes

  • Use any milk type you prefer such as dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
  • When sifting matcha powder, use a fine mesh sieve to avoid clumping for a smooth beverage.
  • Adjust honey to taste or substitute with maple syrup or agave for different sweetness.
  • To toast marshmallows, use a kitchen torch or broil them briefly in the oven until golden brown.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily to serve more people.
