Just to give you a heads-up, this recipe takes a little over 8 hours to make but it’s worth the wait. You’ll be making this overnight.

In another bowl, soak the milk and oats for the same amount of time as the chia seeds, Once both have softened, combine them with the matcha and set it in the fridge for 1 hour. Garnish with the rest of your ingredients and enjoy.
So instead of making it overnight, you can make it in less than 2 hours.
