Pitaya Blood: Pink Matcha Blend with a dripping rim

Deep pink with a magenta dripping rim: Halloween without the gore. It all comes from one tin, Pink Matcha Blend (beetroot, pink pitaya and pu-erh red tea): some for the drink, some for the rim syrup.

Time: 10 min · Makes: 1 glass · Difficulty: easy

Ingredients

• 4 g (2 teaspoons) Pink Matcha Blend: 2 g for the drink and 2 g for the syrup
• 50 ml hot water (80 °C)
• 180 ml cold milk or plant drink
• Ice
• 2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey + 1 teaspoon hot water (for the rim)

Step by step

1. Syrup: mix 2 g Pink Matcha Blend with the agave and the teaspoon of hot water into a thick, deep-pink syrup.
2. Spoon it around the rim of the glass, inside and out, and let a few drips run down. Pop the glass in the freezer for 2 minutes so the drips set.
3. Drink: sift the other 2 g into a bowl, add the 50 ml of 80 °C water and whisk until smooth.
4. Fill the glass with ice without touching the rim and add the cold milk.
5. Pour the pink over the top and watch it trickle down through the ice.

Tips

• The thicker the syrup, the slower and longer the drips. If it’s runny, add a little more agave.
• For a Halloween party, prep all the rims in advance and keep the glasses in the freezer until serving.
