Celebrate Independence Day with the vibrant Coconut and Mango Matcha, a tricolour-inspired drink blending matcha, coconut, and mango to symbolise India’s unity, diversity, and festive spirit.
Ingredients
- 150 Gram For Mango Compote (bottom layer): Ripe Mango, diced
- 20 Gram Sugar
- 10 Milliliter Water
- A few drops lemon juice (optional, to balance sweetness)
- 100 Milliliter For Coconut Layer (middle): Coconut Milk
- 50 Milliliter Chilled Water (to thin slightly)
- 15 Gram Sugar or Syrup (Optional)
- 1 Teaspoon For Matcha Layer (top): Matcha Powder
- 50 Milliliter Hot Water At 75–80°C
- 5 Gram Honey or syrup (Optional)
Main Procedure
Make the Mango Compote: In a small saucepan, combine diced mango, sugar, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens and forms a chunky compote (5–7 min).
Lightly mash with a fork, but keep some texture.
Stir in lemon juice if desired, then cool completely.
Prepare the Coconut Layer: In a small jug, mix coconut milk with chilled water to create a pourable consistency.
Sweeten if desired. Keep in the fridge until assembly—cold layers help maintain separation.
Whisk the Matcha: In a matcha bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove lumps.
Add hot water (75–80°C) and whisk in a zigzag (W or M motion) until frothy and smooth.
Sweeten lightly if you want a dessert-style drink.
Assemble the Layers: Bottom layer—Spoon cooled mango compote into the base of a tall glass.
Middle layer—Slowly pour in the chilled coconut milk over the back of a spoon to keep layers distinct.
Top layer—Gently pour the whisked matcha on top of the coconut layer, again using the back of a spoon for a clean separation.
Serve: Serve immediately with a wide straw or long spoon so the drinker can stir just before sipping.
Pro tip for clean layers: Make sure each layer is at a different density/temperature. mango compote thick and cool, coconut milk cold, and matcha freshly whisked and light.
Avoid shaking; pour gently.
