Midnight Bite with Black Matcha Blend

As black as Halloween-night lipstick, with a thick white foam on top. The black comes from Black Matcha Blend itself (cocoa, activated vegetable charcoal and black tea, with cinnamon), no colourings. Five minutes.

Time: 5 min · Makes: 1 cup · Difficulty: easy

Ingredients

• 2 g (1 teaspoon) Black Matcha Blend, plus a pinch to decorate
• 60 ml hot water (80 °C)
• 200 ml milk or plant drink (barista oat milk makes the firmest foam)
• Sweetener to taste (optional)

Step by step

1. Sift the 2 g of Black Matcha Blend into the cup.
2. Add the 60 ml of 80 °C water and whisk with the chasen in a zigzag (or a frother) until you have a smooth black base.
3. Heat the milk without boiling and froth it until very firm.
4. Pour the milk slowly over the black base, holding back the foam with a spoon.
5. Crown the cup with the dense foam in a tall peak.
6. Dust a pinch of Black Matcha Blend over the top through a fine sieve. Done.

Tips

• Want it iced? Ice, cold milk and the black base poured over the top; froth cold milk for the foam.
• The colder the milk before frothing, the firmer the foam.
