Step 1: Sift the matcha powder into a medium mixing bowl to remove any lumps.
Step 2: Add a tablespoon of warm water to the matcha and whisk until a smooth paste forms.
Step 3: Slowly whisk in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is a uniform green color.
Step 4: Add the chia seeds to the liquid and stir vigorously for about one minute.
Step 5: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps of seeds.
