The best part? It’s easy to make, feels super fancy, and tastes like a tropical matcha cloud in a glass!
Let’s do this!
What You’ll Need
For the Matcha Base:
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- ¼ cup hot water (not boiling!)
- ½ cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess!)
- ½ cup sparkling water (for a light, airy texture)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
For the Coconut Cloud Foam:
- ¼ cup coconut cream (chilled!)
- 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk (or coconut condensed milk for dairy-free option)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
For Garnish (Optional but Fancy!):
- Dusting of matcha powder
- Drizzle of honey
Pro Tips
- Use full-fat coconut milk! It makes the drink extra creamy and dreamy.
- Chill the coconut cream. This helps it whip up into a thick, fluffy foam.
- Whisk the matcha well! A bamboo whisk or electric frother makes it smooth and clump-free.
- Want extra bubbles? Use coconut sparkling water instead of regular.
- Make it even fancier! Top with toasted coconut flakes for a tropical twist.
Tools You’ll Need
- Whisk (matcha whisk or electric frother)
- Small mixing bowl
- Hand mixer (for coconut foam)
- Clear glass for serving
Substitutions & Variations
- Dairy-free option: Use coconut condensed milk or maple syrup instead of regular condensed milk.
- Sweeter version: Add a splash of vanilla syrup or agave.
