You can’t get this new treat in Starbucks’ home country or the land of Frappuccino plenty, but we just tried it for ourselves.

This recipe is even better than the new McShake, with much more of that distinctive Japanese flavour.
A few minutes is all it takes to leave stress and distractions behind and find peace in a perfect cup of matcha you made all by yourself.
