Stylish drinks made with jelly
https://www.tiktok.com/@ohtake_food_beauty/video/7454701280154455314Let me introduce a stylish drink that uses jelly so you can enjoy both the look and the texture.
Put your favorite flavor of jelly into a cup.
Stir to break up the jelly, then add ice and pour in soda—just like a drink you’d get at a café.
It looks refreshing and cool, which is really lovely.
Try making it with your favorite flavors like strawberry, mandarin orange, or melon.
If you prefer it a bit sweeter, adding syrup is recommended.
Finish with a mint leaf garnish for a cool, refreshing drink!
Honey Matcha Soy Milk Latte
Mock tea ceremony events have started popping up in all kinds of places.
I don’t know all the detailed etiquette or steps, but tea enjoyed while sitting formally somehow carries a taste of tradition.
Everyone seems to love matcha.
A “Honey Matcha Soy Latte” that combines popular matcha with honey and soy milk might also be a hit! You can froth the soy milk or simply shake it with the matcha.
Drizzling the honey on top like a topping works nicely, too.
It could become a great talking point if sold alongside the tea ceremony club’s event!
Heart Drink
The heart mark that everyone loves.
It’s been used as a symbol for the heart since long ago, but did you know that shape also appears in Japanese architecture? When used in openwork carvings and the like, it’s called “inome,” which literally means “boar’s eye”—an intriguing name, isn’t it? If you made a drink covered in cute hearts like that, you’d be a surefire hit at a school festival! The showstopper is creating a big heart mark on the side of the glass with cream or melted marshmallow.
Add heart-shaped chocolates or cookies to finish it off as a lovely, love-themed drink!
Fruits in tea
On hot days, drinks really fly off the shelves.
So here’s a photogenic fruit-infused iced tea to showcase.
Arrange round slices of fruit to decorate a clear cup—lemon and grapefruit work great.
Add ice to hold the fruit in place, pour in iced tea, then top it off with diced fruit.
Dried fruits and nuts are also popular additions.
Adjust the sweetness with honey or syrup to make it a hit with everyone.
You can also switch it up with colored sodas—have fun experimenting!
Mango yogurt
Refreshing and visually appealing, mango yogurt seems like it would be a hit at a school festival.
Let’s make it with plain yogurt, diced mango, and mango sauce.
If you use frozen mango, you might be able to enjoy a nicely chilled mango yogurt.
Pre-cut frozen mango is available year-round and saves you the prep work of cutting, so it’s recommended.
Using a clear cup may also let you enjoy the beautiful mango yogurt gradient.

A drink with amber sugar and cotton candy
https://www.tiktok.com/@harapeko_cats/video/7334579956242042119Do you know the Japanese confection called kohakutou (amber sugar)? If you like traditional sweets, you’ve probably tried it at least once.
It’s a simple, old-fashioned treat made by dissolving sugar and food coloring into agar.
If you increase the agar and make it softer like yokan, it becomes a sweet called kohakukan.
Kinda makes you crave some, doesn’t it? How about offering a colorful drink that uses kohakutou? Combine it with colored ice or jelly to boost the visual appeal! It’s sure to catch everyone’s eye.
And make good use of the effect of dissolving cotton candy, too!
chai tea
A stylish chai tea with a special feel would probably be popular if you sold it at a school festival booth.
If you want to set up a booth at the festival, let’s discuss and decide on things like the menu, toppings, and whether to offer iced or hot versions as we plan.
It might also help the service run smoothly on the day if you decide in advance which spices to use for the chai.
Offering sweetness levels—less sweet, regular, or sweeter—could make it easier for customers to choose.
Recommended toppings include cinnamon powder, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream!
