Earth Day Matcha

This Earth Day matcha is a colorful layered iced matcha latte made with creamy milk, vibrant blue spirulina, and whisked matcha for a striking two-tone drink. Lightly sweetened with honey and poured over ice, the smooth matcha layer floats over the naturally blue milk for a café-style presentation at home. Optional yogurt or marshmallow “clouds” add a playful finish to this easy matcha drink inspired by spring skies and Earth Day colors.

Preparation

  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!
