Matcha Cold Foam is not green enough? I used 3g of matcha powder in this recipe to add enough matcha flavor and color to the cold foam while preventing caffeine overload. But, I know some people love an extra mood boost or want to make it even greener. You can add 1-2g more matcha powder to this recipe to brighten up your drink.
How to Layer & Serve for Best Presentation
- To create beautiful layers, pour coconut water on the bottom of the glass, add ice cubes, and top with the matcha cold foam. Ice cubes keep the layers separate until mixing with a straw to enjoy!
- Use coconut water that has a pretty rose hue to create a beautiful contrast to matcha.
- Garnishing ideas: dusting matcha powder on top or adding a mint sprig.
Variations
- Add vanilla paste or extract to matcha cold foam to add comforting flavor.
- Add strawberry jam + oat milk instead of coconut water to make a strawberry matcha.
- Swap coconut water for brown sugar chai latte to make a viral Baby Yoda Starbucks drink at home.
