03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Use cold milk for a lighter top, though it will be less cloud like.
- Plain sparkling water creates a crisp, less sweet version.
Whisk the matcha base up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate. Froth and assemble immediately before serving.
