Matcha powder, flower tea number 9
- Matcha powder is a fine powder made from 100% young buds of the green tea plant and is produced through a special process, having nutritional value much higher than that of green tea powder.
- Number 9 flower tea is a type of tea that is 100% oxidized, so the tea water after brewing often has a dark reddish-brown color. With its characteristic color and aroma that do not fade even when adding milk powder or during cold storage, it is often used in milk tea recipes.
You can purchase matcha powder and number 9 flower tea at specialty ingredient stores or reputable e-commerce sites. When buying, be sure to check the packaging and expiration date carefully.

How to prepare Black Macchiato Tea
-
Make milk foam (macchiato)
First, add 80ml of whipping cream, 20ml of topping cream, 20ml of unsweetened fresh milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a clean glass jar. Then use the coffee frother to whisk until the foam doubles the amount of cream.
Finally, put the milk foam mixture in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds on medium-high power, then take it out and let it cool for 10 minutes to finish.
Tip:
- If you don’t have a coffee frother, you can tightly cover the glass jar and shake vigorously until the milk foam mixture becomes fine foam.
- You can use an electric whisk to mix the mixture at low speed for about 5 minutes until the milk foam mixture is thick and slightly heavy.
