A modern brewed milk alternative to coffee
A matcha milk drink is made using finely ground green tea powder combined with warm milk. Unlike brewed tea, matcha is consumed directly in powdered form, meaning the entire leaf is ingested.
When mixed with milk, matcha becomes smoother and creamier, reducing bitterness while maintaining its distinctive flavour.
Matcha has become increasingly popular in UK cafes due to its association with calm energy and wellness culture. It is often positioned as an alternative to coffee for people who want focus without intensity.
Social media has also played a major role, with matcha drinks being visually distinctive and highly shareable.
Whisk matcha with a small amount of hot water until smooth, then add warm milk and stir.
Matcha milk drinks are a key example of brewed milk beverages, where milk becomes the primary vehicle for flavour rather than an add-on.
