I have decided to share my thoughts and tidbits of the day here (instead of texting a man as often as I do) and today I made a matcha latte for the first time! I added a bit of half and half to make it creamier and I'm so delighted.

I grabbed a tumbler and brewed a bunch of my favorite coffee, added vanilla cream and poured some in a little bowl to mix the matcha and poured it back. (Might’ve added a little caramel idk i zoned out) Then I just threw some ice in it. The flavor was so tastyyy will be making again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

learning to make an expert iced matcha latte had long been on my list, and i cracked the code about two years ago. the catch is, getting good matcha powder and working with water at the right temperature! i whisk my matcha with a little bit of homemade vanilla syrup or local honey and water that’s 176 degrees Fahrenheit, gradually adding in a little more water at a time. once i have about a shot’s worth, i pour over ice and top with the milk of my choice. if i’m feeling extra domestic, i might even make my own almond or cashew milk!

i love getting my little kitchen scale out, measuring my matcha powder, sifting the clumps out and whisking it until it's the optimal amount of frothiness. something very grounding about starting the day with this level intention in making a drink i'll finish in probably less time than it took to make it ✨

It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
