Impressions
To create aesthetic layers, choose yogurt with as little water as possible and add a little milk to give it fluidity while clearly distinguishing the top and bottom layers and boundaries. If creamy yogurt, no milk needed. Once the yogurt is added, add about four ice cubes and slowly pour in the matcha latte, making it easier to clearly separate the layers.
