Ingredients

Scale

Cold Foam

2 tbsp heavy cream
1 tbsp whole milk
1 tbsp mocha sauce (or chocolate syrup)

Matcha Mixture

1 ½ tsp pure matcha powder (sifted)
3 tbsp hot water

Main Drink

1 cup milk of choice (2% milk recommended)
2 tbsp pistachio sauce
Ice (as needed)

Optional Topping

Toasted Kataifi

Instructions

Make the Cold Foam: In a small glass or mason jar, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and mocha sauce or chocolate syrup. Use a milk frother to froth the mixture vigorously for 20-30 seconds until it forms a light, airy foam. Set aside for topping later.
Prepare the Matcha Mixture: Using a fine mesh strainer, sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps. In a small bowl, whisk the sifted matcha with hot water until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Set this aside.
Combine Milk and Pistachio Sauce: Fill a tall glass with ice. In a separate container, stir together the milk and pistachio sauce thoroughly until no lumps remain. Pour this mixture over the ice in the glass.
Add Matcha: Pour the prepared matcha mixture over the milk and pistachio blend. Stir gently to combine all layers evenly.
Top and Serve: Spoon the chocolate cold foam over the top of the drink. Optionally, add toasted Kataifi on top for extra texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this unique chocolate matcha creation.

Notes

To get the best flavor, use high-quality pure matcha powder and fresh pistachio sauce.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of mocha sauce or chocolate syrup.
For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream, whole milk, and 2% milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut cream and almond milk.
Toasted Kataifi can be found in specialty Middle Eastern grocery stores or online; it adds a delightful crunch if desired.
Use a milk frother or an electric whisk for best cold foam results.
