1️⃣ Prepare the Matcha Mixture

1. In a heat-safe bowl, whisk sifted matcha powder with hot water until smooth.
2. Stir in sugar and milk powder, mixing until fully dissolved.

2️⃣ Heat the Milk & Combine

1. In a small saucepan, heat whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
2. Slowly pour the matcha mixture through a fine sieve into the saucepan, whisking continuously.
3. If lumps remain in the sieve, push through with the back of a spoon.

3️⃣ Cook & Thicken

1. Reduce heat to low-medium and whisk periodically for about 20 minutes, until the mixture thickens and reduces by half.
2. Test for thickness: Scrape the pot with a spoon—if a visible line forms, it’s ready. If not, continue cooking and whisking.

4️⃣ Cool & Store

1. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate. It will thicken more as it cools.
3. Best consumed within 1 week.
