Description

Delight in a refreshing Matcha Ice Cream Float that combines creamy vanilla ice cream with vibrant matcha green tea for the ultimate summer treat. This quick and easy dessert is both visually stunning and deliciously satisfying.


Ingredients

1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder

1 tablespoon hot water

1 cup soda water (plain or flavored)

2 scoops vanilla ice cream

1 tablespoon honey or sugar (to taste)

Whipped cream (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk matcha powder and hot water until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Stir in honey or sugar until fully dissolved; adjust sweetness as desired.
  3. Fill a tall chilled glass halfway with soda water. Gently pour in the matcha mixture.
  4. Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top, letting it float.
  5. Optional: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle extra matcha powder for garnish.

Notes

Use coconut milk or almond milk instead of soda water for a creamy, dairy-free twist.

Try flavored soda water like lemon or lime for added zest.

Add a splash of vanilla syrup for extra sweetness.

Use green tea ice cream instead of vanilla for a double matcha boost.
