Spring-Coloured Sakura Matcha Latte

I bought some pickled cherry blossoms and wondered if I could use them in a drink. I used some strawberry vanilla tea leaves that were blended with matcha to make a drink a base for this recipe, replacing the strawberry with cherry blossoms. It tasted delicious.
I like the salty taste of pickled cherry blossoms so I've only rinsed the saltiness away a little bit in Step 1. If you prefer them to be less salty, please adjust the soaking time to your taste.
* In Step 3, feel free to replace the whisked tea with whipped cream if you'd prefer.
* I tried adding a few drops of brandy at Step 3 after pouring the latte into the mug and it tasted very nice. * Use one big pickled cherry blossom or two small ones. Recipe by ne-ne
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place the cherry blossoms in a small dish, pour in some water, and let soak for 15-20 seconds. Set aside some of the cherry blossom for decoration (see photo) and finely chop the rest of the petals and stem.
- 2
Put the milk, finely chopped cherry blossom, matcha, and sugar in a saucepan and warm it up until it's about to boil.
- 3
Pour the mixture into a mug, leaving a little in the pan. Whisk the mixture that's left in the pan with a milk frother or something similar, and gently pour it on top of the mixture in the mug. Decorate the latte with the petals left over from Step 1 and it's ready to drink.

I tried decorating my latte with a flower I made with "Salt-Cured Cherry Blossoms",. I think it looks cuter than my version.
