# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No morning cooking means you genuinely get five extra minutes of sleep, which is its own kind of magic.
  • That earthy matcha flavor paired with coconut feels sophisticated enough for weekend brunch but simple enough for Tuesday mornings when nothing else is happening.
  • It stays fresh in the fridge for days, so one batch covers multiple mornings without tasting tired or repetitive.
02 -
  • Matcha clumps are real and disappointing—whisking it into the liquid first rather than stirring it in with the dry ingredients prevents grainy texture disasters.
  • The mixture will thicken significantly overnight, which feels wrong until you taste it and realize that's exactly the texture you wanted all along.
03 -
  • Make it in a mason jar with a tight lid so you can shake it in the morning if the mixture seems too thick—motion distributes the liquids back through the oats more evenly than stirring.
  • Add your matcha powder to just a tablespoon of warm water first and whisk it into a smooth paste before combining with the cold milk, which eliminates clumping entirely.
