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
- In a double boiler melt the entire bag of white chocolate, stirring on occasion
- Once the chocolate is melted and creamy, scrape into a saucepan and turn the heat to medium-low
- Add the whole milk and begin whisking until the chocolate is completely unstuck from the bottom and sides of the pan
- Turn up the heat to medium-high while continuing to whisk until the chocolate is fully-incorporated into the milk
- Add salt to taste
- Turn off the heat and pour the white hot chocolate into your 4 mugs
Step 2: Matcha Shot
It's time to make a Matcha Shot to combine with your melted white hot chocolate. If you've never made a matcha shot before click here to learn more!
