Make this bright, refreshing drink combining earthy matcha green tea with sweet pineapple juice over ice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2 ounces hot water (175°F or 80°C)
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice, chilled
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Place the matcha powder into a small bowl or matcha bowl.
  2. Pour the hot water over the matcha. Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk or a small electric frother until the mixture is smooth and frothy with no clumps.
  3. In a tall glass, combine the chilled pineapple juice, cold water, and simple syrup. Stir well.
  4. Fill the glass completely with ice cubes.
  5. Slowly pour the prepared matcha mixture over the ice and juice mixture.
  6. Serve immediately. Stir gently before drinking to combine the layers.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple juice for the best flavor.
  • For a creamier texture, substitute 1/4 cup of the cold water with unsweetened coconut milk.
  • If you prefer less caffeine, use half the amount of matcha powder.
