Experiment with textures
If you prefer a smoother texture in your matcha spread, you can strain the matcha milk jam through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking to remove any lumps or bits. Alternatively, if you enjoy a bit of texture, you can leave it as is or even add crushed nuts or shredded coconut for some added crunch.
