Matcha, the green gold! Not only because it tastes amazing, but also because it's very good for you. Our matcha is a Japanese green tea made from the highest quality tea leaves from the mountains of Shizuoka, which have been shaded for weeks to stimulate chlorophyll production. This gives matcha its beautiful emerald green colour.
This matcha recipe is a delicious change to your daily tea ritual.
Everything you'll need
- 1 tsp. of matcha (= 2 matcha bamboo spoons)
- 60 ml. cold water
- 150 ml. coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave/maple syrup
- Ice cubes

- Matcha whisk
How to prepare
- Put 1 teaspoon of matcha (or 2 matcha bamboo spoons) in a bowl. This is approximately the same as 1 gram of matcha. Add a little cold water, about 1 tablespoon.
- Use the matcha whisk to make a smooth paste, so that there are no lumps left. This is an important step in making the perfect matcha!
- Now add 60 ml. of cold water to the mixture and whisk it with the matcha whisk until a nice layer of foam appears. This takes about 15 seconds.
- Meanwhile, put ice cubes in a glass and pourin the coconut water. Then pour in the matcha. Watch and enjoy how it creates a beautiful drink!
- For some extra sweetness, you can add a teaspoon of honey or agave/maple syrup to taste.
- Quickly take a picture of your light green drink (because yes, it is picture worthy!) and enjoy the delicious taste of matcha.
