Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp preserved cherry blossoms or sakura tea
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup oat milk or milk of choice
- 1 tbsp white chocolate (melted) or 1 tsp vanilla syrup
- Tiny pinch of salt

Instructions
- Infuse preserved cherry blossoms or sakura tea in hot water for a few minutes. Start by boiling your water. Once it’s hot, pour it over the cherry blossoms in a cup and let it steep for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate container, mix oat milk with melted white chocolate or vanilla syrup and a pinch of salt. Warm the oat milk slightly if using white chocolate to help it melt.

- Take a tall glass and fill it with ice cubes, then slowly pour the combined mixture over the ice.
- Garnish with preserved cherry blossoms and serve cold. Enjoy!
Notes
Best served cold. For a sweeter taste, adjust the amount of white chocolate or use flavored syrup. Great pairing with light snacks.
