Tips for the Perfect Sea Salt Vanilla Cream Matcha

  • Use Maison Matcha Vanilla for a smooth, creamy matcha flavour that pairs perfectly with sweet vanilla and sea salt.
  • For a dairy-free version, try oat or almond milk, and use a plant-based cream for the vanilla foam.
  • Whisk the cream properly to get a light, cloud-like texture — it makes your drink look extra-special.
  • Adjust the sea salt to taste — a tiny pinch enhances the vanilla and matcha without being overpowering.
