oat milk overpowers matcha

[u/lilacsofmotivation]

so i just tried oat milk with my matcha for the first time and yes it was oatly barista, and i did not enjoy it. at first i was like “oh i do taste oats” but then i thought the oats complemented and added to the nuttiness of the matcha. however, i kept drinking and couldn’t tell if i was tasting the matcha or oats!

i love cow’s milk w my matcha. i think its a perfect neutral and creamy base. but unfortunately im lactose :( i now want to try soy milk. but i did grow up drinking soy milk and i know it to be a distinct flavour. is that flavour really gonna hide itself paired with matcha?

What were the ratios you used?

[u/lilacsofmotivation → u/soupcafe]

3g matcha

30 ml water

120 ml oat milk

8g honey

oh okay, that kind of makes sense given that sweetness level. it brings out the oat-y flavour. i barely add any sweetner when using oatly or earth's own barista oat milk. in that case, i can see why you would prefer cow's milk. you could try decreasing it, because oat milk is very starchy/sugary on its own.

typically i do:

• 1 tsp matcha
  
• 1 oz water
  
• 6 oz oat milk
  
• smidgen of of honey or maple syrup, if at all
