Creamy and earthy with just the right amount of sweetness, matcha white hot chocolate just may become your favorite thing to fill your mug with.
Cold weather calls for cozy past times like snuggling under your favorite blanket with a mug of hot chocolate. While you would probably expect that mug of hot chocolate to be a rich brown color. However, if you came over to our house you would get something quite different.
MATCHA WHITE HOT CHOCOLATE: THE MATCHA THAT EVERYONE LOVES…
Ever since matcha became a daily part of our life, we have come to enjoy it in many different ways. But drinking matcha as a white hot chocolate is one of our absolute favorite ways to enjoy it. In fact, everyone we serve this drink to is loves the flavor combination of matcha and white chocolate. To be honest, neither me nor my hubby have desired a traditional cup of hot chocolate ever since we tasted this hot chocolate. It really is that good!
The process of making a mug of this hot drink is almost as simple as making a normal matcha latte. For this recipe we use high quality organic latte grade matcha from Encha. We have found this to be the best tasting matcha at the best price point. Not to mention, it has a gorgeous green hue. High quality white chocolate is the only sweetener in this drink. By slowly melting the white chocolate into the matcha and soy milk you get a luxurious cup of hot chocolate. Top each mug off with a marshmallow and you are ready to cozy up with a mug :)
I really hope you try this festive drink while cold weather cozy past times are on your schedule. Creamy and earthy with just enough sweetness, matcha white hot chocolate just may become your favorite thing to fill your mug with this winter.

Notes
*To achieve a beautiful green hue with your matcha white hot chocolate, we highly recommend using a top quality culinary matcha – we use ENCHA Organic Matcha . Low quality matcha will not be vibrant green, but instead will result in a dull brownish color
- Prep Time: 3 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
We absolutely love drinking matcha this way! Thank you for the inspiration!
