This is my favorite summer and spring drink because of the light green color, indicating so much springy.
If you love to top cold foam with your coffee, tea or milk tea or simply with coconut water, this is a must trying. Matcha green tea gives it a lovely green tea taste and a super dreaming light green color.
Previously we have our sweet cream cold foam published. It is the most basic format and the most popular cold foam. But you can twist the cold form into different colors and tastes by adding colored syrup or fruits with colors or powdered ingredients like this matcha powder.
Matcha Cold Foam Ingredients
- 2 tsp. matcha powder
- 1.5 tbsp. warm water
- 1/4 cup cream, chilled
- 1 tbsp. sweetened condensed milk
I use sweetened condensed milk to replace sugar as it can add a basic sweetness and also rich the creamy texture. If you don’t have it on hand, replace it with sugar.
How to Make Matcha Cold Foam
Whisk matcha
Add 20ml warm water (around 55 degrees C) to matcha powder. Hold the whisk with one hand and use your wrist to whisk the matcha and water briskly in a “W” or “M” shaped motion. Set aside.
Whip the matcha cold foam
Pour the cooled matcha liquid into the cream, add condensed milk, and whip well with a milk frother until the mixture is thick and runny.
You need to insert the frother just below the surface of the milk and move it up and down to ensure that the cold foam is evenly whisked. The well-whisked matcha cold foam should be roughly double in size. Don’t whisk; the process should be around 12 to 15 seconds.
Now let’s assemble it with coconut water
Steep the jasmine green tea: add around 100ml hot water to 1 tsp jasmine green tea. Steep for 4 minutes. Strain the tea liquid and set aside to cool down.
Fill the serving glass with ice cubes, and pour in the coconut water and jasmine green tea base. Top with matcha cold foam.
Other Serving Ideas
You can use this matcha cold foam with any of your coffee, tea or milk tea drinks. For example top in rose milk tea to create a lovely spring pink and green color.
