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
Mash 80g of fresh strawberries with 1 teaspoon of honey, then fold gently into 50ml of whipped heavy cream.
Sift 2g of matcha into a bowl and add 30ml of water at 75 degrees Celsius.
Whisk for 15 seconds until smooth.
Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in 150ml of cold whole milk.
Pour the matcha over the milk to layer.
Spoon the strawberry cream on top to finish.
Whip the cream just to soft peaks so it folds cleanly into the strawberries.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.
