A vanilla forward affogato with hot matcha poured over gelato.
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.
Place 1 scoop of vanilla bean gelato in a chilled glass.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup over the gelato.
Sift 2g of matcha into a bowl.
Add 60ml of water at 75 degrees Celsius and whisk for 20 seconds.
Pour the hot matcha directly over the gelato and serve immediately.
Vanilla bean gelato shows tiny black flecks and gives a deeper flavor than vanilla ice cream.Almanac note
Made it?
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.
