Equipment
- 1 Bamboo whisk or small whisk
- 1 Small saucepan or milk frother
Ingredients
For the Drink
- 1 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder
- 1/2 tsp ashwagandha root powder
- 2 tbsp hot water not boiling
- 1 cup oat milk or milk of choice, steamed
- 1 tsp honey to taste
Instructions
Make the Paste
- In a mug, whisk the matcha and ashwagandha powder with the hot water until smooth and lump-free.
Steam and Combine
- Warm and froth the milk in a saucepan or with a frother until steaming.
- Pour the steamed milk over the matcha-ashwagandha paste, whisking as you pour.
- Stir in honey to taste.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Whisk the matcha and ashwagandha into a paste first to avoid clumps. Ceremonial-grade matcha tastes smoother than culinary-grade since there is no espresso to mask bitterness.
