Make the raspberry cloud. Add fresh raspberries, freeze-dried raspberries (if using), heavy cream, and maple syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth, creamy, and lightly fluffy.Tip: You don’t need to use all the cream — I like blending a little extra so it’s easy to whisk or pour later.
Prepare the matcha. Whisk the vanilla matcha powder with 3 oz hot water until smooth and fully dissolved. Add 3 oz cold water and stir.
Assemble. Fill a glass with ice. Pour in the matcha, then gently spoon or pour the raspberry cloud over the top.
Stir before drinking or sip as-is for layered flavor.
