Notes1. This recipe is versatile in its ingredient amounts, you can add more ice if you want it thicker, more matcha green tea powder if you want it thicker, or more vanilla syrup if it's not sweet enough. 2. Adjust the thickness of the frappe by increasing or decreasing the amount of ice according to your tastes. 3. Please don't use the contents of green tea bags, it's a whole different taste than matcha. 4. You can substitute almond milk, rice milk, or soy milk for the milk. I notice almond milk leaves a distinct aftertaste. 5. Xanthan gum actually make the end result very slightly gummy when added a little into sorbet, ice cream, frappuccinos, smoothies, etc. It also prevents the crystallization in sorbet and ice cream. |
