You know when you wake up on a chilly morning and need a hot drink now? Well this is my go-to on fall and winter mornings (or afternoons!) when I want a change from coffee. The thought of this smooth, warm, creamy drink seriously lures me out of my cozy bed. I love how effortless this recipe is, especially on those half-awake, barely functioning mornings (just make sure you’re alert enough to operate a blender with hot liquid!). I love matcha green tea powder because it delivers calming, jitter-free energy as well as powerful antioxidants. Be sure to see my Deluxe Version in the Tips section below for a more decadent way to make this beverage—when I want an especially comforting treat, I’ll forgo the water and only use canned coconut milk.

Ingredients

For 1 person

  • 1 cup(250 mL) water
  • 0.33 cup(80 mL) canned light coconut milk, room temperature*
  • 0.5 tspmatcha green tea powder, or to taste**
  • 1 tsp(5 mL) pure maple syrup, or to taste (optional)

Steps

  1. 1

    Add the water to a kettle or pot and bring to a boil.

  2. 2

    While the water heats up, add the coconut milk and matcha powder to a high-speed blender.

  3. 3

    Once the water has boiled, remove it from the heat and let sit for 15 seconds. Carefully add it to the blender along with the maple syrup (if using).

  4. 4

    If your blender’s lid is vented, secure it on top. If you don’t have a vented lid, keep the lid slightly ajar so air can escape. Blend on the lowest speed, very slowly increasing to medium, for about 20 seconds until frothy and combined.

  5. 5

    Immediately pour into a mug and enjoy your cozy cup o’ green!
