Mulan's name was derived from a type of magnolia flower and we did our best to bring that to life in a beverage. The espresso stem gives rise to matcha leaves, where a strawberry foam flower blooms. This drink with earthy notes combined with light berry flavors reflects the balance Mulan found in her journey of self acceptance.
Ingredients
- 40ml strawberry puree
- 10g matcha powder
- 10ml honey
- 300ml milk (whole or Oatly creamy)
- 80ml strong coffee or 1 shot of espresso

Today's recipe is an easy way to add some flair to your drinks. The viscosity of honey allows the blue tea to float and create beautiful distinct layers. Make your latte with ice to help keep those layers separate. If you're looking to catch some of Ariel's waves, add your tea after the ice and pour the milk last so that it slowly disperses and creates a beautiful surf appearance. Stay tuned to our Prin-spresso series for more wonderful lattes 💙☕🐚
