Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of hot (not boiling) water until completely smooth and dissolved, creating a concentrated paste. Set aside.
  2. Combine the dissolved matcha paste, milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender.
  3. Add the ice cubes to the blender mixture.
  4. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and has a thick, icy consistency. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  5. If making the whipped topping: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  6. Pour the blended frappuccino into a tall glass. Top generously with the homemade whipped cream (if using).
  7. Dust the top of the whipped cream lightly with the extra matcha powder before serving immediately.

Notes

For an extra boost of coffee flavor, you can add 1/2 shot of cold espresso before blending. If you prefer less sugar, use a sugar substitute or reduce the amount specified.
