What You’ll Need
To make the Matcha Base:
- ◯ 1 tsp of matcha powder
- ◯ ¼ cup of hot water (not boiling!)

How to do it
Step 1: Prepare the Matcha Base
- Mix the matcha.
Mix the matcha powder and hot water in a small bowl until they are smooth and foamy. - Combine with coconut milk.
Put the whisked matcha in a glass and add honey and coconut milk if you want. Mix well. - Put in the fizz.
To keep it light and bubbly, softly pour in the sparkling water.
Step 2: Make the Coconut Cloud Foam
- Whip the cream from the coconut.
In a small bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together cooled coconut cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is thick and frothy.
Step 3: Put together and serve
- Put the coconut foam on top using a spoon.
Carefully spread the beaten coconut mixture over the matcha foundation. - Decorate and enjoy!
Sprinkle matcha powder on top and drizzle honey on top. Serve right away!
Tips from the pros
- Use coconut milk that is full fat! It adds a lovely, creamy quality to the drink.
- Put the coconut cream in the fridge. This makes it easier to whip up into a thick, frothy foam.
- Whisk the matcha well! It is smooth and free of lumps with a bamboo whisk or an electric frother.
- Want more bubbles? Instead of normal water, use coconut sparkling water.
- Add even more style! Add toasted coconut flakes on top for a tropical touch.
Changes and Substitutions
- If you don’t want to eat dairy, you can use coconut condensed milk or maple syrup instead of conventional condensed milk.
- For a sweeter version, add a little vanilla syrup or agave.
- For a stronger matcha flavor, use 1½ tsp instead of 1 tsp.
- Version with ice: Instead of sparkling water, pour over ice!
Leftovers and how to store them
Fresh is best!
If you’re making it ahead of time, keep the coconut foam in the fridge and whisk it before serving.
