Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 2 ounces hot water (175°F / 80°C)
- 4 ounces pineapple juice, chilled
- 4 ounces sparkling water or club soda, chilled
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Pineapple wedge, for garnish
Instructions
- Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or matcha bowl.
- Pour the hot water over the sifted matcha.
- Whisk the matcha vigorously using a bamboo whisk or small electric frother until it is smooth and slightly frothy, with no clumps remaining.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the chilled pineapple juice into the glass over the ice.
- Gently pour the prepared matcha mixture over the pineapple juice.
- Top the drink with the chilled sparkling water or club soda.
- If using, drizzle the simple syrup over the top.
- Stir gently once or twice to combine the layers slightly.
- Garnish with a pineapple wedge on the rim of the glass.
Notes
- Use cold filtered water for the best flavor when mixing the matcha base.
- For a sweeter drink, increase the simple syrup to 1.5 teaspoons.
- If you do not have sparkling water, use plain cold water, but the drink will lose its ‘spritz’ quality.
- Use a high-quality matcha for the best color and least bitterness.
