How to make: SHAKE both ingredients with ice. Strain into chilled glass with matcha rim already in place.

I really can’t quite pin down what I think it tastes like, but one moment it tasted like sweets, the next mildly like parma violets. Having looked up more about the drink, the flavours of matcha green tea are herbal and floral which is probably why I was getting those hints of flavour.

Brandy: Any brandy is fine. I don't think it's necessary to spend a lot of money on the brandy since the coffee flavors from the ice cream and Tia Maria will be the most prominent. I'm not a brandy connoisseur, so I just buy whatever specifically says "Brandy" on the label (you can see the brand I use in the photo). You can use whatever you have on hand or like to buy.
