How to Improve Your Mint Matcha

This peppermint matcha recipe is great the way it is, but there are a few adjustments you can make to personalize the recipe and really make it your own.

Fresh Mint Leaves

Introduce fresh mint leaves to the steeping process to intensify the minty flavor and aroma. The combination of fresh mint and the mint matcha will create a more vibrant and layered taste experience.

Homemade Mint Syrup

Prepare a simple mint syrup by dissolving sugar in hot water infused with fresh mint leaves. This syrup can be added to the mint matcha mixture for a consistent mint flavor throughout the drink.

Vanilla Infusion

Infuse a hint of vanilla extract into the non-dairy milk before mixing it with peppermint matcha. The vanilla's warmth will complement the cooling mint and add a touch of sweetness to the overall profile.

Coconut Milk Elegance

Replace regular non-dairy milk with coconut milk to give your mint matcha a richer and more indulgent texture. The natural sweetness of coconut will elevate the flavor while enhancing the creamy mouthfeel.

Lemon Zest Twist

Add a touch of lemon zest to the matcha-milk mixture for a citrusy twist that beautifully contrasts with the mint matcha. This enhancement adds a layer of complexity and brightness to the drink.
