Ingredients (for 2 servings)

• 1 teaspoon TSUKI Matcha culinary matcha powder
• 50 ml hot water (80°C, not boiling)
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or matcha ice cream for an even more intense version)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, depending on your preference)
• A few slivered almonds or white chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)

Equipment Needed:

• Small bowl or cup
• Fine mesh sieve
• Matcha whisk (chasen)
• Dessert glasses or cups

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Prepare the Matcha

Sift 1 teaspoon of TSUKI Matcha culinary matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid lumps. Add 50 ml of hot water (80°C) and whisk vigorously with a chasen until smooth and slightly frothy. TSUKI Matcha’s culinary matcha, thanks to its fineness, dissolves perfectly and reveals a vibrant color. If you prefer sweeter desserts, stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Step 2: Prepare the Glasses

Place one scoop of vanilla ice cream in each dessert glass or cup. Ensure the ice cream is firm for an optimal contrast with the warm matcha.

Step 3: Assemble the Affogato

Gently pour the warm matcha over each scoop of ice cream. The ice cream will begin to melt slightly, creating a creamy texture and a harmonious blend of flavors.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

To impress your guests, sprinkle a few slivered almonds or white chocolate shavings on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the cold ice cream and warm matcha, with a small spoon to savor every bite.
