Print Recipe
Prep Time:5 minutes
Total Time:5 minutes

Equipment

  • Handheld milk frother Totally optional - it just makes the process of making matcha and sakura concentrate quicker

Ingredients

  • ½ tsp. matcha powder I use culinary grade for this recipe
  • 3 Tbsp. warm water
  • 1 tsp. sugar or xylitol (feel free to adapt to your taste)
  • 4-5 ice cubes
  • ⅓ cup milk (around 75 ml.)

For the sakura concentrate

Instructions

  • Prepare the matcha by combining it with 3 Tbsp. warm water and sweetener.

  • Prepare the sakura concentrate by combining sakura powder with 3 Tbsp. warm water.
    Cherry Blossom concentrate in a small recipient, stirred with a small wooden spoon
  • To make a layered drink, assemble in this order: matcha concentrate at the bottom - ice cubes - milk - sakura concentrate

Notes

You can also put the sakura on the bottom and top with matcha. The result will also look great (but in my opinion, it tastes better with the cherry blossom on the top, so you get that delicious fragrance while sipping):
