What is matcha?
Matcha is a type of green tea, but instead of traditional loose-leaf tea, it’s turned into a finely ground powder. It’s made from shade-grown green tea leaves, and unlike regular green tea, where you steep and discard the leaves, with matcha, you consume the entire tea leaf. Because of this, you get a more concentrated source of antioxidants, amino acids (like L-theanine), and a gentle, sustained energy boost. It’s known for its beautiful and vibrant green color, earthy and umami flavor, and ability to provide a calm focus without the jitters.
How to make cookie milk
Cookie milk is exactly what it sounds like- milk infused with cookies. Can you think of anything better? To make it, lightly crush cookies (this recipe calls for chocolate chip cookies, but you can use any cookie you love). Mix them with your milk of choice, then cover, and let steep in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Give it a gentle shake, then strain out the cookie pieces and use the leftover milk!
Ingredients:
2 tsp matcha powder
¼ cup hot water
6 standard-sized chocolate chip cookies
1 cup milk of choice
Ice
Directions:
-
Lightly crush four chocolate chip cookies. Add crushed cookies to a jar. Pour in your milk and cover.
-
Give a gentle shake, then place in the fridge to soak for about 15 minutes.
-
Remove the fridge and give it another gentle shake. Strain to remove cookie chunks, then set aside.
-
Sift matcha into a bowl and add hot water. Whisk until frothy, set aside.
-
Crush the remaining chocolate chip cookies and add them to the bottom of a glass. Add ice, then pour in the cookie milk.
-
Slowly pour matcha over the cookie milk.
Enjoy!
Pro Tips and variations:
Make it vegan by using plant-based milk (oat, coconut, almond, etc.) and vegan cookies.
Let your cookies steep in the milk for a bit longer (30 minutes-1 hour) for a stronger cookie flavor.
Drizzle a little chocolate syrup in the glass before adding your ice for some extra indulgence.
Bottom Line:
This cookie milk matcha latte is a delicious, indulgent treat. Creamy, cookie-infused milk paired with earthy, antioxidant-rich matcha. It’s easy, fun, and a guaranteed favorite for all the cookie lovers out there.
