Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk (oat, almond, or regular)
  • ⅕ teaspoon blue spirulina powder
  • honey to taste
  • Yogurt or marshmallow fluff as desired (optional)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder
  • Warm water not boiling, to taste
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Stir together the milk, blue spirulina, and honey in a cup. Stir until smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
  2. Decorate the inside of a separate glass with “clouds” using yogurt or marshmallow fluff. Set aside.
  3. Sift the matcha powder into a separate glass, adding an additional ½ teaspoon more powder if desired. Whisk 2–3 tablespoons warm water into the powder in a zigzag formation until smooth, adding more water for a lighter consistency or less water for a stronger matcha. Set aside.
  4. Fill the cloud-decorated glass with the ice, then pour in the blue milk mixture.
  5. Slowly layer the matcha mixture on top to create a two-toned effect. Serve layered, or give it a stir before drinking.
  6. Enjoy!
