What is Matcha Cloud?

Matcha Cloud is a layered iced drink made with whisked ceremonial matcha folded into whipped cream, poured slowly over cold coconut water and ice.

How much matcha do you need for a Matcha Cloud?

2 to 3 grams of ceremonial matcha, whisked with 10 ml of warm water (70°C) into a smooth paste before the cream is added.

Can I use regular milk instead of coconut water?

Coconut water keeps the drink light and lets the matcha cream layer stay visible on top. Milk can be used instead, though the layers will blend more quickly.

Why is my matcha cream too thin or too thick?

Cream that's too thin sinks through the drink instead of sitting on top. Cream that's too thick won't pour at all. Whip cold cream and stop once it moves slowly, like a ribbon — thick enough to hold its shape, thin enough to pour.

What size glass is best for Matcha Cloud?

A 360 ml (12 oz) glass is recommended for this recipe.

Why does the matcha paste need to be lump-free before adding cream?

Any lump left in the paste stage carries through to the finished drink. Whisk the matcha and warm water until completely smooth before whipping in the cream.

Tips for the Perfect Whipped Matcha Layer

The pour decides everything here.

Cream that's too thin sinks straight through and the two layers disappear into each other. Cream that's too thick refuses to move at all — it sits on the surface instead of settling in.

Whip cold cream. If it's been sitting at room temperature, chill it again before starting — it holds air better cold.

The matcha paste needs to be fully smooth before the cream goes in. Any lump that survives this stage will still be there in the glass.
