Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 Grams Matcha Powder aka 1 - 1.5 Teaspoons
  • 1 Ripe Banana
  • Pinch Salt optional, to bring out the depth of sweetness
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/2 - 1 Tablespoon Agave/ Mape Syrup depending on how sweet you want it, taste and determine
  • 1/4 Cup Milk of choice, set 1 tbs to the side for the banana puree
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Water
  • Ice
  • 1/3 Cup Heavy Cream I used the dairy free Country Crock brand

Instructions
 

  • Grab a bowl and mash your ripe banana with a splash of milk (about 1-2 tablespoon), agave, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until it has combined.
    It is optional to strain to remove the pulp, otherwise set this puree to the side.
    *Feel free to use an immersion blender to combine the ingredients for a smoother puree!
  • To make the cold foam: Measure your heavy whipping cream and combine with 1-2 tablespoons (depending on how prominent you want the banana taste).
    Use a frother to combine and thicken for about 60 seconds or until the cold has nearly doubled in size.
    Briefly set to the side.
  • Let your matcha whisk soak in some hot water (only a small amount, do not submerge your whisk!!) for about 3 minutes to soften the bristle while you measure out 1 tsp of matcha.
    Make sure to sift so there are no clumps. Using your whisk, pour in 3 tablespoons of warm (NEVER BOILING) water into your matcha and which in an 'M' like motion for the next 40 seconds. A nice foam layer should appear on the top.
    **Alternatively, you can use a frother to combine the matcha powder with the water until no clumps are present.
  • Grabbing a glass, put some of the banana puree on the bottom and fill the glass with as much or little ice as you desire.
    Pour in the milk followed by the matcha shot and top off with the banana pudding cold foam. Serve with a straw and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you want to create layers, pour the matcha shot over an ice cube so it creates a "floating" effect.
