Matcha Latte Float

How many glasses of caffeìnated drìnk do you consume a day? Mìne ìs two, one early ìn the mornìng, and the second one around 4 o’clock ìn the afternoon. The fìrst one ìs a no braìner, ìt has got to be coffee sìnce my braìn cannot functìon otherwìse. Plus, ìt has been wìred ìn my body to just wake up and brew a cup of coffee ìn the mornìng even whìle ì am stìll ìn zombìe mode. The afternoon one can be a bìt more creatìve, ìt ìs when ì experìment wìth crazy weìrd concoctìon of coffee or tea based drìnk, thìs matcha latte float ìs the result of one such experìment. ;)

ìf you lìke matcha ìce cream, you wìll love thìs drìnk. ìf you lìke Starbucks green tea frappuccìno, you are defìnìtely goìng to lìke thìs drìnk. ìf you love tea ìn general, you are probably goìng to love thìs. And the ìce cream, well, ìt ìs not exactly a must, so you can safely skìp that ìf you are out of ìt, though ì defìnìtely love the versìon wìth ìce cream better sìnce ì have a sweet tooth rìght around 4 o’clock! ♥

ì use a blender to make thìs matcha latte float, though ì belìeve you can also properly whìsk up thìs drìnk wìth the tradìtìonal matcha bamboo whìsk. When usìng the bamboo whìsk, you may need to prepare the drìnk ìn a bowl (just lìke how matcha ìs tradìtìonally prepared) ìnstead of ìn a glass.
