How to Build Your Own Layered Drink at Home

Layered drinks look impressive, but the idea is simple: liquids with more sugar are heavier and sink, while lighter liquids float on top.

What you need

• A tall clear glass
• Crushed fruit or syrup for the base
• Cold milk
• Matcha, tea or cold coffee for the top layer
• Plenty of ice

Steps

1. Base. Spoon crushed strawberries or syrup into the glass. This is the heaviest layer.

2. Ice. Fill the glass with ice. It acts as a cushion for the next pours.

3. Milk. Pour cold milk slowly over the ice until about two thirds full.

4. Top. Hold a spoon just above the milk, back side up, and pour your matcha slowly over it.

Slow hands make clean layers.
