A refreshing twist with a citrusy glow.
Bright, zesty, and deeply invigorating — this Honey Yuzu Matcha is the perfect pick-me-up on warm afternoons or whenever you crave something crisp and energizing. With the vibrant earthiness of matcha and the golden citrus sweetness of yuzu, every sip feels like sunshine in a glass.
Here’s how to make it at home:
🌿 What You’ll Need:
- 3g ceremonial-grade matcha
- 10g honey yuzu (a citrusy honey blend or syrup)
- 250ml water
- Ice cubes
- Optional: extra honey if you prefer it sweeter
🌀 Step-by-Step:
1. Prepare Your Matcha
Sift 3g of matcha into a bowl using a fine mesh sifter. Add about 2 oz of hot (160–175°F / 70–80°C) water and whisk briskly in an “M” or “W” motion until frothy and smooth.
2. Dissolve the Honey Yuzu
In your serving glass, add 10g of honey yuzu. Pour in a small amount of hot water and stir until fully dissolved and fragrant.
3. Add Ice & Cold Water
Fill the glass with ice and top with cold water until about ¾ full (adjust to taste). Give it a gentle stir to combine.
4. Pour in the Matcha
Slowly pour the matcha over the top for a beautiful two-tone effect. Stir before sipping — or snap a photo first.
☁️ Tips for the Best Cup:
- Use filtered water for the purest flavor.
- Adjust yuzu and matcha levels to your preferred balance of citrus and umami.
- Serve in a clear glass to enjoy the color contrast.
- For a sparkling twist, try using chilled sparkling water.
