Ingredients
Units
Scale
Pistachio Layer
- 1–2 tablespoon pistachio butter or pistachio paste
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste, I used 1 tsp of maple syrup and it was perfect, not too sweet)
- 2–3 tablespoon milk (to thin the pistachio paste)
Milk Layer
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice (oat, almond, or regular milk work well)
- Ice cubes
Matcha Layer
- 2 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1/4 cup hot water (about 175°F or 80°C)
Instructions
- In a small bowl or the cup you will be drinking from, combine the pistachio butter or paste with maple syrup or honey. Add a bit of milk to thin it out, stirring until smooth.
- (If mixed in bowl) Spoon this pistachio mixture into the bottom of a glass.
- Add ice cubes to the glass on top of the pistachio layer.
- Pour the milk over the ice, creating a second layer.
- In a tea bowl or separate cup, whisk the matcha powder with hot water until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Slowly pour the matcha over the back of a spoon onto the milk layer to create a distinct green layer on top.
- Mix and enjoy!
