# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The sweetness of fresh strawberries balances matchas earthiness in the most unexpected way
  • It looks absolutely stunning layered in clear glasses, like something youd pay eight dollars for
  • Ready in ten minutes flat, no fancy equipment required beyond something to whisk with
02 -
  • The layers look prettiest when poured into clear glasses straight down the sides rather than dumping everything in the center
  • If your matcha mixture is too concentrated, itll sink through the milk instead of floating on top

  • The temperature of your milk affects how clearly the layers show, colder works better
