Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 2 teaspoon matcha high-quality
- ¼ C water room temperature
- 6 ice cubes crushed
- ½ C milk or non-dairy alternative
- 2 oz espresso or strong coffee, brewed hot
Instructions
- Place sugar and matcha in the bottom of a tall glass. Add water and mix well to dissolve the matcha and sugar.
- Add crushed ice cubes to the glass.
- Take a spoon and turn it around so the back side is facing the top. Position the spoon slightly above the ice. Carefully pour milk over top the back of the spoon. The milk will gently drizzle over top of the ice.
- Next, using the same technique, carefully pour the hot espresso over the back of the spoon on top of the milk and ice. The espresso will float to the top.
- Stick a straw in, give it a stir and enjoy.

Notes
- To achieve clear layer separation, pour milk and espresso slowly over the back of a spoon held just above the ice.
- Adding a small amount of sugar to the milk can help create three distinct layers by adjusting densities.
