Barista starting build: 1 drink · approximately 10 fl oz before ice or toppings · use a 12 fl oz cup for the hot version.

Ingredients

8g (2 tsp) Minty Lavender Matcha · 500g pouch
6g (2 tsp) Organic Cacao Powder · 500g pouch
2 fl oz warm water, divided
8 fl oz milk of choice, divided
Optional: sweetener to taste
Optional: cream, chocolate curls + fresh mint

Method

Make the cacao base. Whisk 6g cacao with 1 fl oz warm water until smooth. Blend in 2 fl oz warmed milk. Add sweetener only if desired.
Prepare the matcha. Whisk 8g Minty Lavender Matcha with the remaining 1 fl oz warm water. Steam or warm the remaining 6 fl oz milk and combine with the matcha.
Pour + finish. Add cacao to the cup, then gently pour the matcha milk over the back of a spoon. Finish with optional cream, chocolate curls and mint. Layers may blend naturally; stir before drinking.

Why We Love It

Two food service pouches, one distinctive menu drink. Unsweetened cacao gives the chocolate depth; the minty matcha blend brings freshness and its own sweetness. Start without extra syrup, then adjust to your café’s taste.

Serve It Iced

Whisk the powders separately with their warm water portions. Mix each with its cold milk portion. Add ice to a 16 fl oz glass, leaving room for the drink, then pour cacao followed by matcha. Stir before sipping.

Scale for 10 Drinks

Measure 80g Minty Lavender Matcha + 60g cacao. Allow 20 fl oz water + 80 fl oz milk in total. Divide evenly using the single-drink method. This is a scaling guide, not a premixed storage recipe; prepare drinks to order.

Barista Notes

Use a scale for consistency. This starting formula uses the matcha label’s 8g serving; cacao intensity, milk texture and sweetness can be adjusted during menu development. Contains caffeine. Milk and toppings determine the finished drink’s dairy and sugar content.
