Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 2 oz hot water (160-175°F)
  • 5 oz milk of choice (oat or almond recommended)
  • 3 oz raspberries
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • Sugar to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Mash strawberries with sugar in a blender and let macerate for 5 minutes.
  2. Add lemon juice and zest to the strawberries and blend until smooth; chill in the refrigerator.
  3. Simmer raspberries with a splash of water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat for 15 minutes.
  4. Strain the raspberry mixture to create a smooth syrup and let it cool completely.
  5. Whisk matcha powder and hot water in a small bowl until a light froth forms.
  6. Combine the whisked matcha with milk in a glass.
  7. Layer the strawberry puree at the bottom of a serving glass, add ice, then pour the matcha-milk mixture over the top.
  8. Drizzle the raspberry syrup and top with whipped cold cream.

Notes

Ensure all berry components are completely cooled before assembly to maintain distinct layers. Using high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha will result in a less bitter and more vibrant drink.
