Ingredients
Scale
Milk Base
- 2 cups milk (any kind)
Flavorings
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
Garnish
- Toasted marshmallows
Instructions
- Heat the milk: Pour 2 cups of milk into a saucepan and gently heat it over medium heat. Stir occasionally and watch carefully until it begins to simmer — avoid boiling to prevent scorching the milk.
- Melt the white chocolate: Remove the pan from the heat. Add the chopped white chocolate and whisk thoroughly until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture turns smooth and creamy.
- Add matcha and honey: Sift 1 tablespoon of matcha powder into the saucepan to avoid clumps, then add 1 tablespoon of honey. Whisk briskly until the mixture is frothy, smooth, and well blended with no lumps.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the warm white hot chocolate into glass mugs. Optionally, top each serving with toasted marshmallows for an extra touch of sweetness and a delightful texture contrast.
Notes
- Use any milk type you prefer: dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk all work well.
- Sifting matcha powder before adding prevents lumps and ensures smooth texture.
- Adjust the honey amount to your desired sweetness.
- To toast marshmallows safely, use a kitchen torch or a broiler for a few seconds.
- Ensure white chocolate is high quality for the best flavor and smoothness.
