Equipment

Manual Milk Frother

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 chai tea bag (regular or caffeine-free)
½ cup plant-based milk (preferably soy or oat milk)
1 teaspoon pink matcha powder
1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (maple syrup or a zero-calorie sweetener - see notes below for options)

Cups - Metric

Instructions

Heat the water until hot but not boiling (in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds or on the stovetop in a saucepan).
Add the chai tea bag to the hot water and let it steep for up to 5 minutes.
Add the milk to a tall, microwave-safe bowl or jar. Microwave for 30 seconds. The goal is to make the milk warm, but not hot.
Use a frother wand or manual frother to froth the warm milk. Set it aside for 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the tea bag from the hot water and add the pink matcha powder and any sweetener (if using). Optional: Add a drop of organic pink food coloring for even brighter color.
Pour the frothed milk on top. Sprinkle more of the pea powder on top.

Notes

For the milk, I recommend soy milk because it makes the best froth. Otherwise, you can use your favorite plant-based milk but realize the frothy foam will not be as thick.
