You could just try to get used to drinking it without milk. Just matcha and powder, make sure it’s good quality and you’re set

learning to make an expert iced matcha latte had long been on my list, and i cracked the code about two years ago. the catch is, getting good matcha powder and working with water at the right temperature!
i whisk my matcha with a little bit of homemade vanilla syrup or local honey and water that’s 176 degrees Fahrenheit, gradually adding in a little more water at a time. once i have about a shot’s worth, i pour over ice and top with the milk of my choice. if i’m feeling extra domestic, i might even make my own almond or cashew milk!

Chiming in with my matcha recipe, can be hot or iced:
1) Make homemade vanilla syrup as your sweetener. Or make it with brown sugar for more of a concentrated / boba tea taste.
2) Heat your water to 176 F, any hotter and your matcha will start to taste bitter and grassy. We’ve got a sort of fancy hot water boiler that allows us to set the temperature, which makes for the best tasting matcha.
3) Add the syrup to the cup you’re going to whisk in, I usually start with a tsp. Do what you’re doing with the Ippodo matcha, a couple of scoops through the sifter. Whisk to combine syrup and matcha, so that the powder is fully absorbed.
4) Slowly pour in water (once it’s the right temp) whisking in a front to back motion across your cup. I like two do 2-3 oz of water.
5) Once combined, either pour over a glass of ice and top with milk of your choice, if going with an iced matcha. Or top with warmed/steamed milk of your choice in same mug, if going with hot matcha.

Staying under the parasol feeling the breeze is 100% better than sweating under the sun…

What could I do with all the time spent commuting?
Sometimes my mind just wonders.
Then I realize not everything needs to lead to a productive output and relax
