- Pour ½ cup of coconut milk into each glass.
- Top with the Matcha layer, divided evenly between both glasses.

* Salted Caramel Sauce (Cook Time: 45 minutes)
- Combine the coconut milk, coconut sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Bring to a boil, then lower the temperature, keeping the sauce at a light simmer.
- Simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. As the sauce reaches the last 5-8 minutes of cooking time, stir more frequently incorporating the more caramel burned bits from the bottom into the sauce. This helps to flavor it! Once the sauce has turned a dark amber and has thickened to coat the back of a spoon, remove from the heat.
- Add the coconut oil and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Serve the sauce warm or refrigerate in a sealed glass jar for up to two weeks. If refrigerating, leave on the counter for 10 minutes to cool, stir again, then refrigerate.
