Make it your own
This botanical recipe contains no matcha powder. It illustrates a flower infusion, not the finished MATCHA Blue blend. Adding green tea changes flavour, colour and caffeine.
Ingredient & allergen notes
Check milk allergens and the flower supplier’s intended culinary use.

Keep this botanical recipe distinct from Blue
This recipe uses a culinary flower infusion, not MATCHA Blue powder. The distinction belongs in the serving description. If you add green tea, you are changing the recipe and its caffeine information; do not assume it will retain the same vivid flower-only colour.
Check the flower supplier’s preparation instructions, strain where required and let the infusion cool before combining it with cold milk and ice. For a less milky result, adjust the milk in a small trial. Record the change rather than expecting every milk alternative to produce the same appearance.
Scale with the full preparation in mind
The serving selector changes ingredient amounts for one, two or four servings. It does not automatically change pan size, blending capacity or any cooking instruction. When scaling, use an appropriately sized vessel and keep the method easy to control. Separate small preparations can be easier to make evenly than one crowded container.
The published recipe and its structured data describe the base one-serving version. If you make a variation, record it as your own adjustment. Do not copy a nutritional value from a different milk, fruit or ingredient into the finished recipe; exact nutrition needs information for the actual components and quantities.
A simple recipe card for your next serving
Write down the ingredient brands or forms, the quantities you used, the mixing tool and any changes to the method. Add one short observation about texture or taste. Keep the picture as serving inspiration, while the ingredient record tells you what was actually made.
For a serving team, add the full allergen information and identify which ingredients contain tea. Keep the recipe record available when milk or another component changes. This turns a visually attractive serving into a routine that another person can repeat and describe accurately.
