Wild honey Matcha Smoothie

Method

1. Start by prepping your ice, banana, milk so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the matcha and let it roasted, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the bay leaf and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the cream and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a handful of herbs and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
