Salted Vanilla Earl Grey Matcha

Base

• 0.12 ozMatcha
• 1.5 ozHot Water
• 5 ozOat Milk
• 1 tbspEarl Grey Syrup

Sea Salt Bourbon Vanilla Cloud

• 1.35 fl ozHeavy Cream
• 0.5 tspTrader Joe's Bourbon Vanilla Paste
• 0.5 tspSugar

Base

1. 1Whisk matcha

   Whisk the matcha with the hot water until smooth and frothy. Use hot but not boiling water. Start by mixing in just enough to form a thick, lump-free paste, then add the rest. Whisk in three stages, slowing down as you rise: about 30 seconds near the bottom without pressing down hard, 20 seconds through the middle, then 10 seconds along the surface. The goal is to fully dissolve the powder into a smooth, fine foam — not to beat it hard.

2. 2Stir in the earl grey syrup, then pour over the oat milk and ice.

Sea Salt Bourbon Vanilla Cloud

1. 3Froth the heavy cream with the bourbon vanilla paste and sugar, then season with sea salt.
