🌸 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.
