A cozy, creamy, warm cup of hot chocolate with the calm energy of matcha is a perfect winter drink for a late-night craving or a comforting drink. The earth notes of Matcha elevate the rich cocoa flavor and make it more balanced and naturally calming.

2. Make the hot chocolate base: Warm milk on a low heat in a saucepan, add sugar and cocoa powder to it. Whisk it until the cocoa powder dissolves in the milk.
3. Combine both: Pour the matcha mixture into the hot chocolate and whisk until everything is well blended and creamy.
4.Add vanilla: Add vanilla extract (if using).
5. Serve: Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy warm.

Expert Tip

Matcha can burn if heated too much, so always add it after the cocoa base is warm and smooth. Adjust the sweetness depending on the cocoa you use.
