πŸƒ50 ml warm water

πŸƒIce cubes

πŸƒFresh strawberries, mango pieces, or edible flowers for garnish (optional)

πŸ“ŒInstructions

πŸƒ1. Prepare the Β Mango Milk

Add mango puree and chilled milk to a glass or mixing jug. Add honey or your preferred sweetener and stir well until fully combined.

Set aside until ready to layer.

πŸƒ2. Prepare the Strawberry Milk

Add strawberry puree and chilled milk to another glass or mixing jug. Add your preferred sweetener and mix well until the strawberry puree is evenly incorporated into the milk.

Set aside.

πŸƒ3. Prepare the Butterfly Pea Mixture

Add butterfly pea powder to 50 ml of warm water. Whisk thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Add 50 ml of chilled milk and stir gently to create a creamy blue layer.

πŸƒ4. Prepare the Matcha

Sift 3 g of matcha powder into a ceramic bowl. Add 50 ml of warm water and whisk using a matcha whisk until smooth and lightly frothy.

Avoid using boiling water, as very high temperatures can affect the delicate flavour of matcha.

πŸƒ5. Build the Mango Layer

Take a tall transparent glass and fill it with ice cubes.

Slowly pour in the prepared mango milk. This golden-yellow layer will form the base of your Rainbow Matcha.

πŸƒ6. Add the Strawberry Layer

Slowly pour the strawberry milk over the back of a spoon onto the mango layer. Pour gently to help maintain a separate pink layer.

πŸƒ7. Add the Butterfly Pea Layer

Using the same slow-pouring technique, add the butterfly pea milk over the strawberry layer.

Pouring carefully helps create a distinct blue layer without mixing the colours.

πŸƒ8. Add the Matcha Layer

Finally, slowly pour the prepared matcha tea over the butterfly pea layer. The vibrant green matcha will create the final layer of your colourful drink.

πŸƒ9. Garnish and Serve

Garnish with a fresh strawberry, small mango pieces, or edible flowers if desired.

Serve immediately and admire the colourful layers before gently stirring the drink together.
