👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1
   Prepare Snowcap Matcha Base: Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl. Pour in 2 tablespoons of warm water and whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion with a bamboo whisk (or electric frother) for 20 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.
2. 2
   Layer the Iced Matcha: Fill a tall clear glass with ice cubes. Stir the vanilla syrup into the cold milk and pour over the ice. Slowly pour the vibrant green matcha over the milk so it forms lush emerald-green swirls.
3. 3
   Crown with Marshmallow Snowcap: Whisk the heavy cream, 2% milk, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla for 20 seconds with a handheld frother until thick and velvety. Pour slowly over the iced matcha and sprinkle with crushed cookie crumbs.
4. 4
   Simmer the Snowcap Hot Chocolate: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk the whole milk, Dutch cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and sugar until steaming and the chocolate melts completely (do not boil). Pour into a festive red mug.
5. 5
   Toast & Serve Hot Cocoa: Swirl 2 tablespoons of marshmallow fluff over the hot cocoa, scatter mini marshmallows on top, gently toast with a culinary torch if desired, dust with cocoa powder, and serve the entire holiday lineup warm and chilled!
