In the matcha sequence, what is the first step?

• A. Pour milk (cup)
• B. Add syrup (cup)
• C. Add to foam blender, add ice
• D. Add matcha, blend low setting

Answer: (B)

The first step is to add syrup to the cup. Starting with the sweetener sets the flavor base right away, ensuring the sweetness is evenly distributed as you add the other ingredients. This helps the matcha mix smoothly and creates a balanced final drink, especially since ice or milk will be added later and can dilute flavors if sweetness isn’t built in at the start. Pouring milk first or jumping straight to blending steps would make it harder for the syrup to mix evenly or for the matcha to come through with the right sweetness level.
