Ingredients

For the Earl Grey syrup

For the matcha

  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 1 Tbsp hot water 170-175 degrees F
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • Ice
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Make the syrup first. Add the water to a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Then turn the heat off. Pour in the granulated sugar and stir until it is fully dissolved.
  • Steep 3 Earl Grey tea bags into the sugar mixture for 4 minutes. Remove the tea bags and squeeze them lightly over the saucepan so the remaining flavor drips back inside the saucepan. Let the syrup cool before storing in a jar, bottle or container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
    Steps to make Earl Grey Matcha: Make the earl grey syrup by dissolving sugar in boiling water, then steeping the tea bags in the simple syrup.
  • Soak your matcha whisk in hot water for about 5 minutes to soften the bristles so they don’t break easily.
  • Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl using a small sifter. This is an important step in ensuring your matcha is not clumpy.
  • Pour 1 Tbsp hot water (170-175 degrees F) over the matcha powder. Do not use boiling water, or it may burn the delicate tea leaves in the matcha causing it to be bitter and lose its bright green color.
  • To get a really smooth and clump free matcha, only add a splash of water first and whisk to make a paste, then continue adding more water as you whisk.
    Steps to make Earl Grey Matcha: Sift the matcha through the strainer, add water, and then mix with a matcha whisk until dissolved.
  • Now add ice and about 2-3 Tbsp of the ear grey syrup to a cup
  • Pour in the cold milk (preferably whole milk for creaminess).
  • Add the whisked matcha on top of the milk. Stir and enjoy!
    Steps to make Earl Grey Matcha: add ice to a cup and pour in the earl grey syrup, milk, and matcha.
