Pro Tips for the Best Matcha Blueberry

  • Use warm, not boiling, water when whisking your matcha, this keeps the flavour smooth and prevents bitterness.
  • Spread the puree evenly around the glass for the best marbled effect as the milk is poured in.
  • Pour the matcha slowly over the back of a spoon for a beautifully defined layered effect.
  • Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best natural sweetness and colour.

FAQs

1. Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! Use your favourite plant-based milk, oat or coconut milk both work beautifully with matcha and blueberry.

2. Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, frozen blueberries work well for the puree, just let them thaw slightly before crushing for easier blending.

3. Can I sweeten this recipe?

The blueberries add natural sweetness, but you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the puree if you prefer a sweeter result.

4. Can I serve this hot instead of iced?

This recipe is designed as a refreshing iced drink for the best layered effect, but you can warm the milk and skip the ice for a cosy version.
