Ube Matcha Whip
There's a moment, right as the light hits it, when this whipped ube matcha drink stops looking like something you made and starts looking like something you found in a studio Ghibli (Sutudio Jiburi) film— lavender cream catching the sun like it's lit from within , jade green settling beneath it like the bottom of a quiet pond.
