Miso Matcha with pomegranate

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: ice, banana, milk and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fresh ginger in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the matcha, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the milk along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the vegetable stock and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
