Notes:

• Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less keto-friendly sweetener.
• Experiment: Feel free to experiment with different non-dairy milk options or a blend of coconut milk and almond milk for a unique flavor profile.
• Presentation: To create a layered effect, you can pour the matcha mixture over the back of a spoon onto the coconut milk. This helps to keep the layers separate.
