good ideas.
just read that 160-170F happens sometime during the "rumble" before the water boils. i'll do some trial and error with the electric thermometer to figure out the timing.

Not interested in a trag/spike alliance.
Give me a verb/spike alliance. That would really be something.

Yes, I think I added a bit too much water intitially.tragabigzanda wrote:Make a slurry with just a touch of water, much easier to dissolve all the powder that way.

Due to a power outage this morning, I had a matcha latte from Starbucks. Pretty good, but also super rich. Assumed they used whole milk; a less fatty milk might be better.

You can always ask for different milk, even nut and oak milks.

i read somewhere that dairy milk actually prohibits the full benefits of matcha, so i always go with coconut milk or something like that
