Ingredients
Scale
Milk Base
- 2 cups milk (any kind)
Flavoring and Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
Garnish
- Toasted marshmallows
Instructions
- Heat the milk: Pour the 2 cups of milk into a saucepan and heat it gently over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil to avoid scorching the milk.
- Melt the white chocolate: Remove the pan from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Whisk thoroughly until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add matcha and honey: Sift the tablespoon of matcha powder into the saucepan to prevent lumps, then add the honey. Whisk briskly until the mixture is frothy, well blended, and smooth.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the warm white hot chocolate into glass mugs. Optionally, top each serving with toasted marshmallows for added sweetness and a delightful texture contrast.
Notes
- Use any type of milk according to your preference—dairy or plant-based alternatives work well.
- Do not boil the milk to prevent a burnt taste and skin formation.
- Sifting matcha powder is important for a smooth texture without lumps.
- To toast marshmallows safely, use a kitchen torch or broil lightly in the oven.
- This recipe serves two, but can be easily scaled up.
