FAQs
What Type Of Matcha Should I Use?
Ceremonial or culinary grade both work. For a bold flavor, use high-quality culinary grade.
Can I Adjust The Sweetness?
Absolutely. Add more or less sugar to match your taste.
Do I Need A Blender For This?
A blender helps dissolve the matcha powder, but vigorous whisking also works.
Why Use Warm Water?
Warm water helps dissolve matcha completely, avoiding clumps.
Can I Make It Dairy-Free?
Yes, substitute plant-based milk and cream for a vegan option.
What’s The Best Way To Prevent Matcha Clumps?
Sift the matcha before mixing and whisk well in warm water before combining with other ingredients.
Can I Use This In A Regular Blender?
You can blend it, but for slushie/milkshake texture, a slushie maker is recommended.
How Long Does It Take To Freeze?
Most machines complete the cycle in 15–20 minutes.
Can I Add Ice Cubes?
Not necessary—using chilled ingredients helps speed up the process without diluting the flavor.
What If I Don’t Have Vanilla Extract?
You can skip it or replace it with other flavor extracts like almond or hazelnut.
