Red, White & Green Layered Matcha Drink

Ingredients:

Red Layer:

• ½ cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
• ½ tbsp honey or maple syrup
• ¼ cup water

White Layer:

• ½ cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, almond, etc.)
• Ice cubes

Green Layer:

• 1 tsp matcha powder
• ¼ cup hot water (not boiling)
• ¼ cup milk of choice (optional for a creamier layer)

Instructions:

1. Make the Red Layer:
   • In a blender, purée the strawberries with honey and water until smooth.
   • Pour into a tall glass and add ice cubes to slow the mixing of layers.
2. Add the White Layer:
   • Slowly pour the milk over the back of a spoon to layer it gently on top of the red layer. This helps keep the colors distinct.
3. Make the Green Matcha Layer:
   • In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with hot water until smooth and frothy. Add a splash of milk if you’d like a creamier finish.
   • Carefully pour the matcha mixture over the back of a spoon to layer on top of the milk.
4. Serve Immediately:
   • Garnish with a strawberry slice or a sprig of mint if desired. Stir before sipping—or enjoy the layered look a little longer!
