Estimated at about 34 mg of caffeine and 25 mg of L-theanine per gram of matcha. Cultivar, grade and harvest all move the real figure, so treat these as a guide, not a measurement. Not medical advice.

Method

  1. Simmer 60g of blueberries with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup for 3 minutes, then cool.

  2. Spoon the blueberry compote into a tall glass.

  3. Fill the glass with ice and pour in 150ml of cold oat milk.

  4. Sift and whisk 2g of matcha with 30ml of water at 75 degrees Celsius for 15 seconds.

  5. Pour the matcha over the milk to layer.

Frozen blueberries work well and need no thawing before simmering.Almanac note

Made it?

Keep the ratio that worked

The journal keeps this bowl (grams, water, temperature, and how it actually tasted) on this device, so the next one starts from what worked. It builds a 13-week heatmap as you go, and it is free for up to 1,000 bowls on this device. Premium adds the tin cellar, so each bowl is costed against the tin you actually poured it from.
