  • Use a frother stick to whip the cream until slightly thickened into a soft, pourable foam.

Step 3

Step 4

Top & Finish

  • Spoon or pour the matcha foam over the top of the jasmine tea.

Pro Tips for the Best Jasmine Tea Matcha Cream

  • Let the tea cool fully before pouring over ice, warm tea will melt the ice quickly and dilute the drink.
  • Don't over-whip the cream – you want a soft, pourable foam that floats on top, not stiff peaks.
  • Sift the matcha thoroughly into the cream to avoid any powdery clumps in the foam.
  • Pour the foam slowly over the back of a spoon for a beautifully defined layer on top.

FAQs

1. Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! Use a whippable plant-based cream, coconut or oat-based options both work well with the floral jasmine.

2. Can I use a different sweetener?

Absolutely. Honey, agave, or a simple syrup all work well in place of maple syrup, adjust to taste.

3. Can I serve this hot instead of iced?

Yes, simply skip the ice and pour the warm jasmine tea into your glass before topping with the matcha cream.

4. What does jasmine tea taste like?

Jasmine tea is green tea scented with jasmine blossoms, giving it a light, floral, slightly sweet flavour that pairs beautifully with matcha's earthy umami.
