Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Mixture
- 1/2 tsp matcha tea powder
- 1/4 cup hot water
Main Drink
- 6 oz pineapple juice
- 1 tsp ginger juice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- Ice cubes (to fill serving cup)
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Mixture: In a measuring cup, combine 1/2 teaspoon of matcha powder with 1/4 cup of hot water. Use a handheld frother to whisk the matcha until it is fully dissolved and forms a smooth, frothy mixture.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill your serving cup with ice cubes. Pour in 6 ounces of pineapple juice, followed by the prepared matcha mixture, 1 teaspoon of ginger juice, and finally top it with 1/2 cup of coconut milk.
- Mix and Serve: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly to combine the flavors. Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a sweetener of your choice. Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing iced drink.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness level by adding simple syrup, honey, or a sugar substitute based on your preference.
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk; for a lighter option, use reduced-fat or coconut milk beverage.
- Use fresh ginger juice for the best flavor or substitute with ginger syrup if unavailable.
- Matcha powder quality can affect taste; choose a bright green, high-quality ceremonial grade matcha.
- This drink contains natural sugars from pineapple juice and coconut milk; consider sugar substitutes for diabetic-friendly variations.
