Description
A vibrant, refreshing drink that layers zesty orange juice, creamy vanilla milk, and earthy matcha for a dreamy sip that feels like summer in a glass.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup cold milk of choice (oat, almond, or dairy)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
- Handful of ice cubes
- Orange slice for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sift matcha powder into a small bowl and whisk with hot water until smooth and frothy.
- Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour orange juice into the glass first, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently.
- Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the back of a spoon to float on top, forming layers.
- Garnish with an orange slice if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and color.
- Froth the milk slightly for a creamier texture and better layering.
- Chill all components before assembling for sharp, clean layers.
- Pour slowly to keep layers from mixing too quickly.
