Equipment
- matcha whisk although you can make it work without one!
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or simple syrup
- ½ teaspoon matcha ceremonial grade, you can double this if you like your matcha STRONG.
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 3-4 mint leaves
- 1 cup soda water
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Mix the matcha base by whisking together the matcha, vanilla and maple syrup in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Muddle mint leaves in the bottom of a tall glass. Add a few ice cubes, pour over the soda water and then stir in the matcha syrup. Enjoy!
If you don’t have a matcha whisk and you’re having trouble getting it smooth, just add a teaspoon of water to help you out.
Notes
Big Batch Option: if you want to make this for a party, without having to mix drinks all evening, try this: whisk together 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of matcha with ¼ cup (60 mL) maple syrup and 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of vanilla as a base for 12 drinks.
Then for each drink, muddle some mint, pour over the soda and stir in 1 ½ (7.5 mL) teaspoons of concentrate!
