Notes

Tip: I usually make three batches; matcha green tea powder, beet powder and plain. You can be can also be creative and blend fruits like banana, strawberries and blueberries in the milk to create flavorful fruit versions (you may have to adjust the liquid slightly, you want a thick pancake-like batter).
