A Little Cherry, A Little Matcha – The Bakewell Twist in a Glass

Cherry Bakewell in a cup? We had to try it. Sweet cherry, creamy almond and earthy Green Matcha come together in a drink inspired by one of Britain’s favourite flavour combinations. It’s nostalgic, a little unexpected, and finished with a soft Green Matcha cloud on top.

Ingredients

For the drink

Almond milk
Cherry syrup, to taste
Ice

For the Green Matcha Cloud

4–5 g Nebula Herbal Green Matcha
A small amount of water
Cold milk or your preferred cold-foam base

Method

Step 1 – Start with Cherry

Add cherry syrup to the bottom of your serving glass.

Fill generously with ice.

Step 2 – Add the Almond Milk

Pour in chilled almond milk, leaving enough room at the top for the Green Matcha Cloud.

The almond milk is what gives this drink that familiar Cherry Bakewell-inspired almond flavour.

Step 3 – Prepare the Green Matcha

Add 4–5 g of Nebula Herbal Green Matcha to a small bowl. Whisk with a little water until smooth, vibrant and free from lumps.

Step 4 – Make the Green Matcha Cloud

Combine the prepared Green Matcha with your cold milk or cold-foam base and froth until light, creamy and slightly thickened.

You want the texture soft enough to pour, but thick enough to sit beautifully over the drink.

Step 5 – Build the Drink

Gently spoon or pour the Green Matcha Cloud over the almond milk.

As it settles, you’ll get layers of deep cherry, creamy almond and vibrant green matcha — almost like a Cherry Bakewell reimagined as an iced café drink.

Why Cherry & Almond Work So Well

Cherry and almond are already a classic pairing, and adding Green Matcha gives the combination an earthy edge that balances the sweetness beautifully.

The result is creamy and fruity at first, followed by the distinctive character of matcha — familiar enough to feel comforting, but different enough to keep things interesting.

Make It Your Own

Prefer a stronger cherry flavour? Add another splash of syrup. For a more pronounced matcha finish, make the Green Matcha Cloud slightly stronger.

You could even finish it with a few flaked almonds or a cherry on top for an extra nod to the classic Bakewell.

Make it with Nebula Herbal Green Matcha and give a British classic a little green twist.
