TENZO Matcha Godzilla Dalgona Latte

Serves 2

Ingredients

For the matcha syrup:

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp TENZO matcha powder

For the matcha dalgona foam:

2 egg whites
2 tsp TENZO matcha powder
1 tbsp hot water
1 tbsp honey

For the matcha latte:

2 tsp TENZO matcha powder
1/4 cup hot water
2 cups milk of choice
Ice, for serving
Fresh mint, for garnish

Directions:

In a small pot, combine honey and water over medium heat until warm and honey is dissolved. Add TENZO matcha powder and whisk until smooth. Simmer for 8-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Pour into a squeeze bottle.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk egg whites at high speed for 2-3 minutes or until they reach soft peaks. In a separate bowl, combine TENZO matcha powder with hot water and whisk until smooth, then stir in honey. Pour this mixture into stand mixer while whisking at medium speed, then continue whisking until the egg whites reach nearly stiff peaks.

In a heat-proof measuring cup, whisk TENZO matcha powder and hot water together until smooth and allow to cool slightly. Add milk and stir to combine.

To serve, use squeeze bottle to drip matcha syrup down around the sides of a glass. Fill glass with ice, then pour matcha latte over. Top latte with a heaping, spiky mound of matcha dalgona foam and garnish with fresh mint leaves to form Godzilla’s spikes and tail.
