Clarified milk punches are the craze of the cocktail world. Here we use the technique to create an unexpectedly clear matcha latte mocktail. The clarification process removes the solids and any undissolved matcha powder, leaving a smooth, crystal-clear drink behind with all the flavor intact. (Please note: While clarified punches with alcohol can be kept in the refrigerator indefinitely, this one will last about a week in the fridge)
