Matcha Ginger Beer Mocktail
This sparkling mocktail pairs matcha with ginger beer (a ginger soda).
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 bottle ginger beer
- 1 teaspoon matcha
Instructions
- Sift matcha using a mesh strainer into a bowl. Sifting matcha is key to preventing clumps.
- Add 4 tablespoons of ginger beer into the sifted matcha and mix to create a matcha concentrate. If you don't have a matcha whisk, use a spoon to mix. No need to vigorously whisk for this. Just a slow, half circle motion is enough to mix the matcha with the ginger beer.
- Pour matcha concentrate into a tall glass. Top with ginger beer. It'll fizz right away so pour slowly. Once you stop pouring the ginger beer, the drink will start to settle a bit with the bottom becoming increasingly more green.
Notes
- Get matcha that's a bright green in the $35-50 range. The better the matcha quality, the brighter the green. The bright green in this drink is really what makes it stand out so avoid matcha under $20, which will give you a dull green color.
- If you don't have ginger beer, you can use ginger ale.
