Instructions

Sift the matcha powder in a small bowl using a fine mesh sieve.
Pour ¼ cup of hot water (170℉ or 80°C) over the matcha and whisk until foamy and aerated.
Add the remaining hot water to the matcha mixture, stirring gently to combine.
In another jug or bowl, mix the milk with the cherry blossom syrup until well combined.
Pour the Sakura milk into two glasses filled halfway with ice cubes.
Slowly pour the matcha tea on top, taking care to keep the layers separate.
Top with cream if desired, then serve.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
Ensure the water temperature for whisking the matcha is not boiling to prevent bitterness.
Optional: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less cherry blossom syrup as per your taste.
