Why Chocolate & Matcha Work So Well Together
Matcha has a natural earthiness that cuts through sweetness beautifully. When blended with chocolate, it creates a smooth, layered flavour rich without being heavy, indulgent without feeling overwhelming.
Plus, matcha provides steady energy without the jitters of coffee, making this the perfect evening treat.
Ingredients

10g creamy chocolate matcha powder

How to Make Chocolate Matcha with Marshmallows
Step 1:
Gently heat your milk on the stove or in the microwave. Avoid boiling, warm and smooth is the goal.
Step 2:
Add your chocolate matcha powder and whisk until fully dissolved and slightly frothy. A bamboo whisk or handheld frother works best.
Step 3:
Pour into your favourite mug.
Step 4:
Top generously with marshmallows.
Step 5:
Lightly dust with matcha powder for a beautiful finish and extra flavour.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Pro Tip for Extra Creaminess
Use oat milk for a thicker texture or almond milk for a lighter finish. If you want it extra indulgent, add a small splash of vanilla extract while heating the milk.
