Chunky matcha latte round 2! AKA I really need to invest in a whisk.
Pretty delicious, minus the large number of bitter chunks, which is entirely my fault. I did a much better job of mixing it last time. Tried it with unsweetened almond milk this time (which I HATE by itself), and with some agave it was great! Glad to have found a use for the unsweetened stuff, but will probably return to using the “original” version once it’s out of my fridge. A savings of 25 calories per cup isn’t worth the bleck factor.
I really hope this can kick a bit of energy into me – I have literally slept for more than 24h this weekend, and I’m still feeling exhausted. I’d really like a month-long break from life, but unfortunately asparagus season is coming up QUICKLY which means I need to get my butt into gear for harvesting. Wahhhh…

I’m the same way with soy milk. I can’t stand it alone but I love it in tea and coffee!
I find almond/soy milk add extra creaminess without extra calories! But yeah, I’m not a fan of drinking either alone if they’re unsweetened, and don’t typically drink the “original” or slightly sweetened versions either – I buy it for cereal :)
Hey Krystaleyn – I got a small wisk from Den’s teas for 5 bucks – search for Hard to Open Travel Chasen-Zutsu (OL11)
or something like that – its in their sale or clearance items.
also… check out amazon… found some really good deals on whisks there.
Good to know, thanks guys! There is a little non-DavidsTea shop downtown here that I will glance at first (as no shipping would be a bonus), but I don’t know if they sell matcha. I thought I did own a small regular metal whisk, but it appears that if I do, I left it in one of the boxes at my parents’ place, and the whisk my roommate owns is… just a tad too large. Hopefully my next matcha post will be more successful!
For the longest time I didn’t have a whisk so i used my magic bullet, if you have one…I’ve heard a regular blender works well too, but there would be more cleanup. I just added in my hot water, a scoop of Matcha Matsu, and the rest warm milk. It froths and mixes and everything and you have a tasty latte that took you like twenty seconds. Also I had a small hand frother that cost me $2 at the dollar store that works fine for when I’m making matcha and I’m not at home (cause I’m the cool kid who’s purse has a travel mug, at least 2 teas, and a hand frother in it at all times)
My roommate has a hand blender – I totally meant to use it! Thanks for the reminder! I’m a student away from home and trying to live light, so I left my blender in my parents’ basement and am trying not to accumulate anything else large, but the hand blender should do! Only downside is how loud it is at 2am…. :|
