Ingredients
Scale
1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
2 tablespoons hot water (175°F/80°C)
1/2 cup mango puree or thick mango nectar
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (full fat recommended)
1 tablespoon sweetener (maple syrup or agave, adjust to taste)
1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Prepare the matcha: Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl. Add the hot water and whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk or small electric frother until smooth and frothy, with no clumps. Set aside.
Prepare the mango base: In a separate glass, combine the mango puree and sweetener. Stir until the sweetener dissolves.
Assemble the layers: Fill a tall glass completely with ice cubes.
Pour the mango base over the ice.
Gently pour the coconut milk over the mango layer. Try to pour slowly over the back of a spoon to maintain separation if desired.
Slowly pour the prepared matcha mixture over the coconut milk layer.
Serve immediately with a straw. Stir before drinking to combine flavors.
Notes
For a thicker coconut layer, use chilled canned coconut cream instead of liquid coconut milk.
If you prefer a sweeter drink, add sweetener directly to the matcha or coconut milk instead of the mango puree.
