Method
- Paste one scoop with 30 ml of the warm milk. Dumped cold it pebbles and never recovers.
- Add the rest of the milk at 60 °C and froth 20 seconds until glossy and even.
- Sift 2 g and whisk with 60 ml at 80 °C into a smooth shot.
- Fill the cup with ube, then pour the matcha into the centre from low and slow.
- Never boil it. Past 70 °C the purple dulls and the coconut fat splits.
On the powder
One scoop is 3.3 g and a 100 g tin holds thirty. It contains fish (cod) and coconut — declare both. On its own the powder is caffeine-free, which stops being true the moment matcha joins it: every build carries roughly 70 mg.
