The Sugar Lab's Godzilla Matcha Monsters are Ready to Add to Hot Water

— December 6, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Sugar Lab's Godzilla Matcha Monsters offer a unique take on matcha preparation methods with sculptural, 3D-printed figurines that are ready to be dropped into a mug of hot water. The 3D Matcha Drops can be gently stirred until dissolved, then paired with steamed milk and a sweetener of choice to create an easy-to-enjoy matcha latte at home.

This edible matcha art miniaturizes famous monsters, Baby Godzilla, Baby Mechazilla Godzilla and Baby Mothra, and their bright green forms express the quality of the matcha used to prepare these drink drops. To create these 3D-printed sculptures, The Sugar Lab uses a few dry ingredients, including organic matcha, as well as a gum blend, rice starch and liquid ingredients to bring the iconic monsters to life for effortless ready-to-drink matcha green tea lattes.
