Introduce the recipe and mention the inspiration from a green tea latte shop in Japan.

Gather dry ingredients: 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder, 1 to 1 and 1/2 tablespoons organic cane sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon toasted soybean powder.

In a medium-sized bowl, add the matcha powder and a bit of hot water (about the amount of a shot glass or two).

Use a whisk (a traditional Japanese bamboo whisk is preferred) to mix the matcha until completely dissolved.

Transfer the matcha drink into a 12 oz serving cup.

Add the organic cane sugar and toasted soybean powder directly over the matcha and stir quickly.

Heat about 1 cup and 1/4 of milk in the microwave (or on the stove) until hot.

In a medium-sized bowl, pour the hot milk and whisk vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds until thick foam forms.

Transfer the frothed milk into a container for easier pouring.

Pour the hot milk over the matcha mixture and scoop the remaining foam over the top.

Dust the foam with matcha powder using a small powdered sugar spoon for garnish.

Optionally, serve with a piece of chocolate or red bean Jell-O.
