- 2 tbsp hot water
- 1.5 tsp culinary grade matcha powder
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
- 2-3 tbsp granulated sugar or simple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- 1/8 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for thickness)
- as desired whipped cream
- for dusting extra matcha powder
How to make Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino
- In a small bowl or mug, whisk together 2 tablespoons of hot water and 1.5 teaspoons of culinary grade matcha powder until the matcha is fully dissolved and no clumps remain, creating a smooth, concentrated matcha paste. This step ensures a lump-free drink.
- Pour the matcha paste into a high-speed blender. Add 1 cup of whole milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option), 2-3 tablespoons of granulated sugar (or simple syrup for easier blending), and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Add 1.5 cups of ice cubes to the blender. For a thicker, more stable Frappuccino texture that holds its shape longer, add 1/8 teaspoon of xanthan gum at this stage.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 45-70 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth, vibrant green, and free of any ice shards. You may need to stop and stir to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the texture is consistent.
- Carefully pour the blended Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino into a tall serving glass, aiming for an even consistency throughout as you fill the glass.
- If desired, top generously with a swirl of freshly whipped cream, creating an attractive mound on top of the drink for an indulgent finish.
- For a final elegant touch and a hint of extra matcha flavor, lightly dust the whipped cream with a small pinch of extra matcha powder using a fine-mesh sieve. Serve immediately to enjoy its refreshing coolness.
