Ingredients (1 serving)

• ¾ cup strawberry or raspberry milk (store-bought or homemade)

• 1 tsp Ceremonial matcha powder

• ¼ cup hot water (around 80°C/175°F)

• Ice cubes

• Whipped cream, sprinkles, or fresh berries for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Milk Base

Froth the strawberry or raspberry milk using a milk frother until it's foamy. If you don't have a frother, simply shake it in a jar or whisk vigorously.

Step 2: Build Your Base

Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour the foamed pink milk over the ice.

Step 3: Whisk the Matcha

Sift matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps. Add hot water and whisk using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a milk frother until smooth and frothy.

Step 4: Assemble the Latte

Gently pour the whisked matcha over the pink milk layer, creating a beautiful green-over-pink ombré effect.

Step 5: Decorate

Top with whipped cream, heart-shaped sprinkles, fresh berries, or any decoration your heart desires! 💘
