Equipment

Bamboo whisk
Small mixing bowl
Milk frother

Ingredients

1 teaspoon matcha powder
½ teaspoon Gingerbread spice
½ teaspoon Blackstrap molasses
¾ cup oat milk
Hot water
Sweetener: maple syrup or light honey to taste if desired

Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients: Put the kettle on for hot water. Put the milk in a small saucepan or microwave to heat. If you have an automatic milk frother, add the milk to the frother, heat, and froth the milk.
Put matcha and gingerbread spice in a small bowl.
Add in a small amount of hot (but not boiling) water, about 2 - 3 tablespoons.
Take the bamboo whisk and whisk until completely dissolved. Whisking in an "m" motion can help achieve a nice foam texture.
Transfer the mixture into a mug.
Add more hot water (if desired), about ¼ cup.
Add molasses and stir until it disolves.
Add sweetener, if used, to taste.
Pour the frothed milk into a mug over the matcha.
Enjoy hot!

Notes

Substitutions

You can substitute oat milk with almond milk, organic soy milk, or cashew milk.
You can substitute blackstrap molasses with date syrup.

Recipe variations

Add in some vanilla for more flavor.
Use another seasonal flavor, add Pumpkin Spice.
Make it keto: Add in a teaspoon of MCT oil. Use almond milk. Omit molasses.

See "Recipe tips" for more recipe info. As a measure, I used a US cup (240ml).
