In a cup, add the sifted matcha powder.

Notes
Matcha: Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the brightest color and smoothest flavor. Sift it first to prevent clumps.Water temperature: Let the boiled water cool for a minute before whisking so the matcha does not turn bitter.Make ahead: The oat milk horchata base keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days. Store it separately from the matcha and combine over fresh ice.Other milks: Unsweetened almond, rice, or soy milk all work in place of oat milk.
