The Emerald Cloud Matcha is smooth, vibrant, and luxuriously creamy.

This is your go-to when you want something light but elevated, with café-style presentation and wellness-forward vibes.

Ingredients:

For the Matcha Base:

• 1 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder

• 2 tbsp hot (not boiling) water

• ¾ cup unsweetened oat milk (barista blend works best)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)

• Ice

For the Oat Milk Whip (Cloud Topping):

• ¼ cup cold oat milk (barista-style recommended)

• 1 tbsp coconut cream or dairy-free whipping cream (optional but adds structure)

• 1 tsp maple syrup or vanilla syrup

• Tiny pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Make the Matcha Base:

• In a small bowl, whisk matcha with hot water until smooth and frothy.

• In a shaker or glass, combine oat milk, vanilla, and sweetener. Add ice and pour in the matcha. Stir or shake to combine.

2. Create the Oat Milk Cloud:

• In a frother or small blender, whip together the oat milk, coconut cream, sweetener, and salt until foamy. You’re aiming for a soft, cloud-like consistency — like cold foam. Chill briefly if needed to thicken.

3. Assemble:

• Pour the matcha mixture into a tall glass over ice.

• Spoon the oat milk whip gently on top so it floats like a cloud.

• Optional: Dust with matcha powder, cinnamon, or edible flowers for an extra touch.
