Which preparation method applies to the Matcha chiller?

• A. Steep matcha concentrate in water
• B. Matcha concentrate and ice cream mix blended with ice
• C. Whisked matcha powder into milk and heated
• D. Blended with coffee and ice

Answer: (B)

In a Matcha chiller, the goal is a cold, creamy, dessert-like drink. The method that fits this is mixing matcha concentrate with an ice cream-based mix and blending it with ice. This approach combines the strong flavor of matcha concentrate with the creamy, dairy or non-dairy base from ice cream and the chill from blending with ice, yielding a smooth, icy beverage. Steeping matcha concentrate in water would produce a tea-style drink, not a creamy chilled blend. Whisking matcha into milk and heating makes a hot latte rather than a cold dessert beverage. Blending with coffee and ice creates a coffee-forward cold drink, not a matcha-focused chiller.
