Iced Dragonfruit Matcha Recipe

Pink at the bottom. Green on top. This iced dragonfruit matcha recipe is the most beautiful drink you'll make all summer — and it takes five minutes to prepare.

The dragonfruit brings a subtle sweetness and that stunning colour. The matcha brings focus, calm energy, and everything you already love about it. Together, they just work.

Why This Combination Works

Dragonfruit is one of the few fruits that layers beautifully with matcha — its natural sweetness balances the earthy depth of the matcha, and the colour contrast is unlike anything else in your glass. It is light, refreshing, and grounding all at once. The kind of drink that makes a slow morning feel intentional.

What You Need

Ingredients

• 1 dragonfruit
• 1 tsp Megami ceremonial grade matcha
• 150ml milk of your choosing
• Ice cubes
• Honey to taste

How To Make Iced Dragonfruit Matcha

Step-by-step instructions

1. Cut the dragonfruit into small cubes and blend half until smooth.
2. Pour the dragonfruit purée into your glass.
3. Fill with ice cubes and pour in the milk.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha with a little warm water until smooth and frothy.
5. Slowly pour the matcha over the back of a spoon into the glass — this keeps the layers clean.
6. Optional: add a drizzle of honey if you like it a little sweeter.

Tips For Perfect Layers

Pour the matcha slowly. The slower the pour, the cleaner the layers — and the better it looks.

Use ceremonial grade matcha for the smoothest flavour. Megami's matcha is sourced from Kagoshima, Japan. No bitterness, no grit. Just clean, smooth flavour that holds its own against the dragonfruit.

Make it for yourself. Make it for a friend. Either way, someone is going to ask you how you made it.

Why Ceremonial Grade Matcha Makes The Difference

Not all matcha behaves the same way in cold drinks. Culinary grade matcha can taste bitter and gritty when mixed with cold liquid — ceremonial grade dissolves smoothly and keeps its clean, grassy sweetness even over ice. For a layered drink like this one, where the matcha needs to sit cleanly on top, the quality of your matcha is everything.

Megami's ceremonial grade matcha is stone-ground in Kagoshima, Japan — one of the most respected matcha-growing regions in the world. The result is a fine, vibrant powder that whisks effortlessly and tastes exactly as it should.

Variations To Try

• Swap milk for coconut water for a lighter, more tropical version.
• Add a drop of vanilla extract for extra depth.
• Use Megami protein matcha for an extra boost — the dragonfruit sweetness balances it perfectly.
