Equipment

  • matcha whisk
  • Fine-Mesh Sieve
  • hand-held milk frother or mixer
  • Tall glass

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp matcha powder ceremonial grade for best flavor & vibrant color
  • ¼ cup hot water about 175°F / 80°C — not boiling
  • 1 tsp dragon fruit powder
  • 1 tsp sugar or sweetener of choice
  • ½ cup coconut cream chilled
  • ½ cup coconut milk unsweetened

Instructions
 

Prepare the matcha (Traditional Method)

  • Sift the matcha powder through a fine mesh sieve into a small bowl (to prevent clumping).
    1 tsp matcha powder
  • Heat water to about 175°F / 80°C — just below boiling.
    ¼ cup hot water
  • Add the hot water to the matcha.
  • Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk vigorously in a quick “M” or “W” motion until the matcha is dissolved and a light foam forms (20–30 seconds).
  • No whisk? Try this: Place the matcha and hot water in a small jar with a lid or a blender. Shake or blend until smooth and slightly frothy.

Make the pink cloud

  • In a medium bowl, combine coconut cream, dragon fruit powder, and sugar.
    1 tsp dragon fruit powder, ½ cup coconut cream, 1 tsp sugar
  • Whip with a hand whisk, milk frother, or handheld mixer for 1–2 minutes until a fluffy, airy foam texture forms.

Assemble the drink

  • Fill a tall glass with ice.

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

Matcha Whisk (Chasen)
A traditional bamboo whisk helps create the smoothest matcha texture and signature foam.
Fine Mesh Sieve
Sifting matcha removes clumps and ensures a silky drink.
Handheld Milk Frother or Mixer
Perfect for whipping the coconut cream into a light, airy foam.
Tall Glass

Cooking Tips for the Perfect Pink Cloud Matcha

Use ceremonial-grade matcha
It has a brighter color, smoother taste, and less bitterness than culinary matcha.
Chill the coconut cream overnight
Cold cream whips more easily and creates the fluffiest foam.
Pour matcha slowly
For distinct layers, pour the matcha gently over the back of a spoon.
Taste the foam first
Adjust sweetness before topping the drink so the flavors are perfectly balanced.
