Pistachio Gelato Matcha Tea pouring onto vanilla ice cream in a mug

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

  • 1 Perfect Matcha Spoon of Pistachio Gelato Matcha or choose another matcha of your choice.
  • 50ml 80°C water (This is to avoid burning the matcha & giving a bitter taste. If in doubt, add a splash of cold before the hot!)
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • Chopped pistachios
  • Chocolate sauce

WHAT TO DO:

  • Put 1 Perfect Matcha Spoon of Pistachio Gelato Matcha into a small bowl or cup.
  • Add 50ml of 80°C water. Use a Bamboo Matcha Whisk or Milk Frother to whisk the Pistachio Gelato Matcha vigorously in a 'W' motion until it is completely smooth.
  • Place a scoop (or two if you fancy!) of vanilla ice cream into a small serving glass or bowl.
  • Pour the matcha shot directly over the ice cream.
  • Sprinkle with chopped pistachios for added texture & then drizzle over some chocolate sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Pro tip: Use the Matcha Latte Magic Whisk to make a latte & pour it over the scoop of ice cream, then add your garnishes. Voila!
