Expert tips
Use a high quality matcha for vibrant color and flavor.
Steep the Earl Grey a little stronger than you'd typically make it so its floral notes shine through.
Variations
Make it into a tea latte float by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream, matcha ice cream, or earl grey ice cream.
Add a pinch of lavender for a calming twist.
Try it with oat milk for extra creaminess and a slightly sweet finish.

I love Earl Grey, but I don't think I've ever had it with matcha. Nice and beautiful!

Thanks Ben, it's quite the combination since one is green tea and the other is black tea! Give it a try!
