Want a funky drink for Christmas? Try this quick-fix recipe of the Matcha foam milk tea, inspired from the series the Grinch who stole Christmas.
Making milk tea is really easy, yet the flavor is so indulging. You can brew it hot to warm up the winter cold or turn it cold with ice to enjoy an even deeper chill.
The sweetness of this recipe is very mild; however, you can always increase it to match your sweetness level. Note that the higher the amount of sugar being used, the longer & stronger the foam can stay and hold its shape. If you want firm foam and don’t care about it being too sweet, 2 Tablespoons are a good amount. Then you can skip the cream of tartar as well.
If you want a full dairy version instead, replace aquafaba with a similar amount of heavy cream, and plant-based milk with regular whole milk.
