Intro

Another matcha drink! This one is really similar to my Taro Matcha Latte but uses my Roseberry Jam instead of taro + maqui berry powders. If you’re feeling too lazy to make the Jam you can use any red berry (i.e. strawberry, raspberry) store-bought jam instead, just use a lot less since my Jam recipe is barely sweetened compared to store-bought jams; I’d start by testing how it tastes with 1 - 2 TBSP of store-bought to start since it isn’t too difficult to add more later.

I’m also excited to share this recipe specifically because I shot with the cute matcha chawan — a ceramic bowl in which to whisk matcha — my friend based out in SF sent to me! I’d been looking for some ceramics for a while but everything I could find that I wanted was either prohibitively expensive and/or just overall uninspiring; I really wanted to find some pieces that meant more to me.

Enter Kilndred Spirit Ceramics — a project started by a friend that not only picked up this amazing hobby, but has been also documenting her works and learnings on the page linked throughout this recipe. This matcha chawan was the first piece she sent me and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed putting it to use. I’m not going to lie and say I know anything about ceramics or how to judge ceramics but it’s worked as it’s supposed to and I love the subtle pink tones, which made this the perfect complement for this recipe visually.

As of December 2020, Kilndred Spirit does not accept orders because she says she’s still learning but I’m hoping we can change her mind sometime soon! So hop over to her page, show her some love, and maybe you’ll be able to pick up one of her pieces for your own home in the near future 🍵

Enough for two 2-cup Ball Mason jar-sized drinks:

• 3 tsp matcha powder

• ¼ cup water

• ½ cup Roseberry Jam (or ⅔ cup if you want it to be sweeter)

• 2 cups ice

• 2 cups oat milk*

• Recommended specialty equipment: matcha whisk, ceramic chawan (matcha mixing bowl), two 2-cup Ball Mason jars

* I used oat milk but you can use any non-dairy or dairy milk

1. Set your ¼ cup of water to boil but turn off the heat just before it comes to a full boil #; add your matcha powder to your matcha chawan (or any heatproof mixing bowl) and mix well, using a matcha whisk if you have one; set aside to cool while you prepare the rest of the drink

2. Evenly divide your Roseberry Jam and oat milk between your two Mason jars (or regular glasses); use a straw or spoon to mix the Jam and milk in each glass well

3. Add 1 cup of ice per glass and mix again; taste for sweetness level here and add more Roseberry Jam if you want it to be sweeter

4. Evenly divide the matcha between your 2 glasses on top; this will achieve the “layering” effect but make sure to mix well before enjoying!

# Or you risk your matcha burning/becoming too bitter; it’s ok if it ends up coming to a full boil just let it cool off for ~ 5 min
