# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like summer and gives you a gentle caffeine kick without any jitters.
  • You can customize the layers, and the visual wow-factor is guaranteed to impress friends or your own morning mood.
02 -
  • Using boiling water for matcha makes it bitter, so always stick to just-hot water.
  • Layering slowly is key—too fast and the colors combine messily, losing the visual magic.
03 -
  • Always sift matcha powder for a lump-free drink.
  • Let the strawberry puree sit for a minute before pouring—the color stays brighter and the flavor settles.
