📌Ingredients

🍃3 g Ceremonial matcha powder

🍃50 ml warm water

🍃150 ml milk of your choice

🍃½ cup fresh red-fleshed dragon fruit, peeled and chopped

🍃1-2 tsp honey or sweetener of your choice

🍃Ice cubes

🍃Dragon fruit pieces for garnish

📌Instructions

🍃1. Prepare the Matcha

Sift 3 g of matcha powder into a ceramic bowl. Add 50 ml of warm water and whisk until the matcha is smooth and lump-free.

For the best results, use a traditional bamboo whisk to properly blend the matcha with water and create a smooth consistency.

🍃2. Prepare the Dragon Fruit

Peel and chop the dragon fruit into small pieces. Add the pieces to a glass and gently muddle them to release their juices.

For a smoother fruit base, you can blend the dragon fruit into a purée before adding it to the glass.

🍃3. Sweeten the Milk

Add honey or your preferred sweetener to the milk and stir well. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.

You can use dairy milk or a plant-based alternative such as oat, almond, or soy milk.

🍃4. Build the Dragon Fruit Milk Base

Add the muddled dragon fruit and its juice to the bottom of a tall glass. Pour the sweetened milk over the dragon fruit layer and stir gently.

Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room for the matcha layer.

🍃5. Add the Matcha

Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the milk and ice. Pouring the matcha gently helps create a beautiful contrast between the creamy milk and vibrant green matcha.

🍃6. Add the Dragon Fruit Topping

Top the drink with a few fresh dragon fruit pieces for a fruity finish.

For an extra refreshing touch, you can also add a small amount of dragon fruit juice over the top.

🍃7. Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh dragon fruit pieces and give the Dragon Fruit Matcha Latte a gentle stir before drinking to combine the fruity, creamy, and matcha flavours.
