[Iced Matcha Soy Latte]

The other day, I heard that it would be as hot as midsummer, so I prepared more ice in the freezer than usual the day before. On such a hot day, I thought I would want a cold drink in the house.

I made a café-style version of matcha green tea, which I usually drink straight after brewing. First, put soy milk and sugar in a pot and heat it to dissolve the sugar completely. While the pot is cooling, prepare the matcha. After lowering the temperature of the hot water with a yuzamashi, whisk the thicker matcha using a Matcha Katakuchi. Pour the soy milk from the pot into a glass filled with ice, then gently pour in the matcha. If the sugar in the soy milk is too concentrated, it will separate nicely.

Relax a little with a cool, sweet drink. Enjoy it in your favorite glass.
