Estimated at about 34 mg of caffeine and 25 mg of L-theanine per gram of matcha. Cultivar, grade and harvest all move the real figure, so treat these as a guide, not a measurement. Not medical advice.

Add 30ml of water at 75 degrees Celsius and whisk for 15 seconds.
Stir 3 teaspoons of cane sugar into 220ml of cold whole milk until dissolved.
Fill a 16 ounce glass with ice.
Pour the sweetened milk over the ice.
Top with the matcha and stir well before drinking.
Cut the sugar to 1 teaspoon if the chain version tastes too sweet.Almanac note
Made it?
Keep the ratio that worked
The journal keeps this bowl (grams, water, temperature, and how it actually tasted) on this device, so the next one starts from what worked. It builds a 13-week heatmap as you go, and it is free for up to 1,000 bowls on this device. Premium adds the tin cellar, so each bowl is costed against the tin you actually poured it from.
