It’s summertime and we’re in need of some cooling, yet delicious drinks. The lovely people at BLOOM have sent over some great summer recipes. A nice iced matcha frappé might be just what we need to cool off.
Makes two drinks
Green layer
1/3 cup plant milk of choice
1/2 tbsp green matcha powder
1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
tiny pinch of high quality salt
1 heaping tbsp agave/maple syrup / coconut sugar
pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1.5 cup ice cubes, slightly crushed by hand or by using ‘pulse’ on a blender
1. Add all ingredients listed above except the ice cubes to a blender and blend until completely smooth without any matcha lumps. Using an immersion blender works great too.
Milk layer
1 cup coconut milk, (or other but coconut milk makes it creamy and fabulous).
Arrange
Divide the green milk in the two glasses, add the slightly crushed ice, pour over the coconut milk and sprinkle some additional matcha powder and freshly grated nutmeg to make it extra pretty!
