# Expert Tips:

01 -

No morning cooking required, just grab and go when you're running late.
That earthy, slightly sweet matcha flavor tastes like a fancy café breakfast that took ten minutes to assemble.
It's thick enough to feel substantial but creamy enough to feel indulgent, with just the right amount of complexity from the vanilla and honey.
The overnight chill mellows everything beautifully, so flavors don't clash but meld together.

02 -

Don't skip the whisking step—matcha powder clumps stubbornly if you just stir it, and nothing ruins the moment like biting into a pocket of unsweetened powder.
The overnight rest is non-negotiable, but honestly, it tastes even better on the second or third day as the flavors continue melding together.
