Layered Matcha Espresso Latte

1. Whisk the Matcha

1. Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or cup to remove clumps.
2. Add the hot water and honey (or simple syrup), then whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion until fully dissolved and lightly frothy.

2. Assemble the Base

1. Pour the sweetened matcha mixture directly into the bottom of the tall glass.
2. Fill the glass completely with ice cubes to help create distinct visual layers.

3. Layer the Milk and Espresso

1. Gently pour the milk over the ice cubes, letting it sit atop the green matcha layer.
2. Slowly pour the freshly pulled espresso shot directly onto the top ice cubes or over the back of a spoon to create the final dark coffee layer on top.
