If you love matcha and are looking for ways to get creative with its preparation, I have the right recipe! This recipe will also satisfy someone who is not a big fan of a matcha taste but doesn’t want to miss out on its health benefits.
Using a wooden spoon add 2 teaspoons of matcha into a tea bowl.
Add enough hot water to fill a little under half the bowl. Use a whisk in an M or Z shape to mix matcha with water until smooth and foamy.
If you don’t have a whisk, use a milk frother or a cocktail shaker.
With a shaker:
Mix mint and honey paste with matcha and lime juice using a cocktail shaker. Just add some ice (and some water if needed) and shake vigorously. Divide between glasses filled with more ice and top with soda water.
Without a shaker:
Add mint leaves and honey to a mortar, then gently muddle them together using a muddler (pestle).
Prepare a glass with ice.
Add mint and honey paste into a glass, followed by matcha and lime juice.
Pour soda water and use a straw to mix all the ingredients. Enjoy!
