Recipe: Fireweed Matcha

Welcome to the vibrant world of PLŪKT Fireweed Matcha – a naturally caffeine-free, organic herbal tea powder made from hand-picked fireweed leaves growing in the wild meadows of Northern Europe. Whether you’re taking your first sip or discovering a more mindful way to enjoy tea, these two recipes are designed to make your introduction delicious, creative, and unforgettable.


🌸 Nordic berry Fireweed Matcha latte

A sweet, fruity latte with vibrant colors and gentle herbal depth

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 tsp PLŪKT Fireweed Matcha
  • 2 tsp blueberries or raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 50 ml hot water (80°C)
  • 150 ml milk (hot or cold – your choice!)
  • 1 tsp honey or sweetener (optional)

Optional Tools:

  • Bamboo whisk or electric whisk
    These help to achieve a creamier texture and more defined layers, but you can still enjoy your drink without them – just expect some natural herbal sediments.

Instructions:

  1. Berry base: Start by mashing the berries into a smooth purée. You can also use a blender if you prefer.
  2. Whisk the milk: In a separate bowl or frother, whisk or froth your milk until it’s foamy. Set aside.
  3. Whisk the Fireweed Matcha: In another bowl, add 1.5 tsp of PLŪKT Fireweed Matcha and pour in 50 ml of hot water. Whisk until lightly foamy. Some sediment is normal and natural.
  4. Assemble the layers: Choose your favorite cup (glass looks especially stunning).
    • First, pour in the berry purée.
    • Add honey or your sweetener of choice, if desired.
    • Then, pour in the whisked milk.
    • Finally, gently pour in the foamy matcha layer on top.
  5. Enjoy the ritual: give it a light swirl if you’d like to blend the layers. Sip slowly, and enjoy the beauty in every step.

  • Ice cubes
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Mash the berries: As with the previous recipe, start by mashing your berries into a purée.
  2. Whisk the matcha: Mix Fireweed Matcha with 50 ml hot water and whisk until smooth and slightly foamy.
  3. Prepare the glass: In a tall glass, add the berry purée and sweetener (if using). Add a few ice cubes.
