Ingredients

First Layer:

1/4 cup diced fresh dragonfruit (or 1/2 tsp dragonfruit powder mixed with 1/4 cup milk)

Second Layer:

1/2 cup ice cubes

1/3 cup milk of your choice

Matcha Layer:

1/3 cup water

1 tsp matcha green tea powder

1 tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup (or to taste)

Execution

Add the ice cubes and milk for the second layer.

3

In a blender, combine the water, matcha powder, and agave/maple syrup. Blend for 1-2 minutes until fully dissolved and frothy.

If desired, you can skip the ice and use all milk/water for a non-iced latte style drink.

6

Serve immediately and enjoy! The sweetener amount can be adjusted to taste preference.

Additional tips

• For added freshness, squeeze extra lemon juice over the pasta before serving.
• Feel free to add a handful of cherry tomatoes or baby spinach for extra color and flavor.
