Iced Earl Grey Matcha Cloud Recipe

How to Make an Iced Earl Grey Matcha Cloud

Step 1: Brew the Earl Grey Tea

1. Boil 300 ml of water to 90°C.

2. Add the Earl Grey tea bag (or loose Earl Grey tea leaves) and brew according to the recommended brewing time.

3. Once brewed, remove the tea bag or strain the tea leaves and set the tea aside to cool slightly while you prepare the matcha cloud.

Step 2: Prepare the Matcha Cloud

1. Pour 40 ml of heavy cream or double cream into a small bowl or cup.

2. Sift 3 grams of matcha through a fine mesh sieve directly into the cream to remove any clumps and create a smoother texture.

3. Using an electric milk frother or handheld frother, whisk the mixture until the matcha is fully incorporated and the cream becomes smooth, light and slightly thickened.

Step 3: Assemble the Iced Earl Grey Matcha Cloud

1. Fill a serving glass with ice cubes.

2. Pour the brewed Earl Grey tea over the ice, leaving enough room at the top for the matcha cloud.

3. (OPTIONAL) If you prefer a sweeter drink, add your favourite syrup and stir until dissolved.

4. Slowly pour the matcha cloud over the Earl Grey tea to create a beautiful layered effect.

5. Stir before drinking and enjoy your homemade Iced Earl Grey Matcha Cloud.
