Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
- 2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling)
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy such as oat, almond, or coconut)
- Ice cubes (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or a squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Syrup
Place the blueberries and honey in a small saucepan. Heat on low for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring until the berries soften and release juice. Gently mash them with a spoon, then strain the syrup to remove the skins.
Step 2: Make the Matcha
In a bowl or cup, whisk the matcha powder with hot water until smooth and slightly frothy. Use a bamboo whisk or small electric frother for best results.
Step 3: Assemble the Drink
For an iced version, add ice cubes to a glass. Pour in the blueberry syrup, then the milk, and finally the whisked matcha on top. For a warm version, heat the milk, mix it with the blueberry syrup, and pour the matcha over it.
Step 4: Stir and Serve
Give it a light stir before drinking to blend the layers into a creamy mix.
Tips and Variations
Use oat milk for a richer, creamier flavor. Add a touch of vanilla extract for sweetness. Try blending it with ice for a smoothie-style drink. Adjust the honey to your preferred level of sweetness.
Health Benefits
This drink is not just a treat—it’s also good for you. Matcha provides steady energy and mental focus without the caffeine crash of coffee. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which support skin and immune health. Together, they make a drink that’s both energizing and nourishing.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy this latte as a morning boost, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or a relaxing evening treat. It pairs well with light snacks like granola bars, pastries, or a slice of banana bread. For a café-style presentation, serve it in a clear glass to show off the green and purple layers.
