This week we partnered with our friends over at Not Without Wine to bring you one of our all-time favorite drink recipes for the chilly holidays months - a twist on a classic - The Tenzo Matcha White Hot Chocolate!

It’s your total comfort drink - warm, rich & velvety, sweet but not too sweet and chocolate-y but not too chocolate-y. And of course, it’s better when its topped with TENZO TEA and MATCHA MARSHMALLOWS :)

INGREDIENTS:

(Recipe Makes 4 Servings)

• 11 oz. Ghirardelli classic white baking chips
• 4 cups of milk (If milk isn't your thing, feel free to swap with your favorite dairy-alternative, we'd highly recommend coconut milk)
• 1/2 tsp salt to taste
• 4 oz water
• 2 tsp Tenzo Tea matcha powder

Step 1: Double Boil White Hot Chocolate

1. In a double boiler melt the entire bag of white chocolate, stirring on occasion
2. Once the chocolate is melted and creamy, scrape into a saucepan and turn the heat to medium-low
3. Add the whole milk and begin whisking until the chocolate is completely unstuck from the bottom and sides of the pan
4. Turn up the heat to medium-high while continuing to whisk until the chocolate is fully-incorporated into the milk
5. Add salt to taste
6. Turn off the heat and pour the white hot chocolate into your 4 mugs

Step 2: Matcha Shot
