Shake the coconut milk well. The recipe uses Heritage Organic Coconut Milk well shaken before pouring.
Keep the matcha water at about 75–80°C. This is the temperature specified for preparing the matcha in this recipe.
Pour slowly. Adding the coconut milk gently and pouring the matcha over the back of a spoon helps create the layered appearance.
