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!
