03 Know before you cook

Small details, better dinner.

Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.

Technique notes
  • Sifting matcha prevents bitter green pockets in the foam.
  • Stop frothing at soft ribbons so the cloud floats but still blends easily.
Useful swaps
  • Use cold milk for a lighter top, though it will be less cloud like.
  • Plain sparkling water creates a crisp, less sweet version.
Storage & reheating

Whisk the matcha base up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate. Froth and assemble immediately before serving.
