Ingredients

Matcha Paste

  • 2 tsp Matcha Powder
  • 40 g Water

Matcha Cloud Topping

  • ¼ tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 2 tbsp Honey

Beverage Base and Garnish

  • Coconut Water (amount as needed to fill glasses)
  • Matcha Powder (for sprinkling)
  • Rosemary Sprig (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Matcha Paste: Add the matcha powder and water to a matcha bowl. Using a bamboo whisk, blend the mixture vigorously until it forms a smooth paste with no lumps.
  2. Make the Matcha Cloud: Combine the matcha paste with heavy cream and honey in a mixing bowl. Using an electric whisk, beat the ingredients together until the mixture thickens to a slightly dense, frothy consistency.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Pour coconut water into serving glasses, filling them to your desired level. Gently spoon the matcha cloud topping over the coconut water to create a layered effect.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Lightly sprinkle additional matcha powder on top of the cloud for decoration. Finish by garnishing with a fresh rosemary sprig. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey based on your preference.
  • The matcha cloud topping is best consumed fresh as it may lose its airy texture over time.
  • For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Chill the coconut water prior to assembly for a refreshing cold beverage.
