Description
This elevated Cardamom Rose Cloud recipe combines creamy, floral notes of rose and aromatic cardamom for a delicate and cozy flavor profile. This green tea drink offers a cafe-quality experience in your kitchen, perfect for a slow morning.
Ingredients
- 2 grams matcha powder, high-quality, ceremonial-grade
- 150 ml hot water (75°C / 167°F)
- 60 ml heavy whipping cream
- 4 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
- 5 ml alcohol-free rose water
- 15 ml maple syrup, or to taste
- Pinch dried rose petals, for garnish (optional)
- Tiny pinch ground cardamom, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Infuse the Cardamom Cream: Combine heavy cream and crushed cardamom pods in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until gently simmering, then remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to infuse completely.
- Strain and Flavor the Cream: Pour the infused cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing lightly on the solids and discarding them. Stir in the rose water and gently warm if needed before frothing.
- Prepare the Matcha Base: Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or mug to remove any clumps. Add 30 ml of hot water (75°C) and whisk vigorously until a smooth paste forms. Add the remaining 120 ml hot water and maple syrup, then stir until dissolved and a light froth appears.
- Froth the Cream Topping: Using a milk frother, froth the warm cardamom-rose infused cream until light, airy, and forming soft peaks.
- Assemble and Garnish: Pour the sweetened matcha base into a glass. Gently spoon or pour the frothed cream on top to create a distinct layer. Sprinkle with crushed dried rose petals and ground cardamom before serving.
Notes
To avoid bitterness, use ceremonial-grade matcha and ensure water temperature is not boiling (about 75°C / 167°F). For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with full-fat canned coconut cream.
