A layered drink with depth and texture—
fresh matcha, creamy coconut, and a soft foam cap on top.
Light, smooth, and quietly indulgent.
Ingredients
Matcha Base
-
2g matcha powder (ceremonial or high-grade)
-
30ml warm water (70–80°C)
Coconut Layer
-
120ml coconut milk (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
-
60ml milk (optional, for a lighter texture)
-
Ice cubes
Cream Cap (Foam)
-
50ml heavy cream or coconut cream
-
10–15ml syrup (simple syrup or coconut syrup)
-
Pinch of sea salt (optional, for depth)
Method
-
Prepare the matcha
Sift matcha into a bowl.
Add warm water and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy. -
Make the coconut base
In a glass, add ice.
Pour in coconut milk (and milk if using). -
Build the layers
Slowly pour the matcha over the coconut milk to create a soft gradient. -
Prepare the cream cap
Lightly whip cream with syrup (and a pinch of salt if desired)
until it becomes thick but still pourable. -
Finish
Gently spoon or pour the cream cap over the drink.
Notes
-
The goal is balance—not too sweet, not too heavy.
-
The cream cap should sit softly on top, not sink.
-
When drinking, let the layers mix naturally.
Taste profile:
Creamy. Nutty. Slightly ocean-like.
With that clean matcha finish coming through.
