The Matcha Mojito is the best drink for both refreshing and revitalizing.
It has the refreshing, minty taste of a mojito, but with a dash of matcha that makes it taste earthy.
This one doesn’t have any alcohol in it; it’s just pure, feel-good bliss.
It’s light, a little sweet, and quite refreshing on a hot day.
Also, matcha provides you a wonderful boost without making you jittery. Let’s do it!
What You Will Need
- 1 tsp. of matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons of hot water
- 1 tablespoon of honey or simple syrup
- Juice from one lime
- 6 to 8 fresh mint leaves
- Cubes of ice
- 1 cup of sparkling water
- For garnish, add extra mint and lime slices.
Tools Needed
- Small bowl (to stir the matcha)
- A little ordinary whisk or a matcha whisk
- Muddler or spoon for mint
- Big glass
- Spoon to mix
Use high-quality matcha—ceremonial grade is the ideal choice for a smooth, non-bitter taste.
- ✅Whisk well; a little foam helps this taste even better. A matcha whisk or even a milk frother works nicely!
- ✅ Muddle gently: Press the mint just enough to let the oils out without ripping the leaves.
- ✅Change the sweetness as you go! If you like it sweeter, add more honey. If you like it sour, add less.
- ✅Add some coconut water to give it a tropical flavor and make it fancy.
Tips for getting ready ahead of time
Put the matcha and honey together ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. Just add lime, mint, ice, and sparkling water when you’re ready!
How to Do It
- Blend the matcha
Mix 1 teaspoon of matcha powder and 2 teaspoons of hot water in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth and foamy. - Crush the mint
Put mint leaves, lime juice, and honey in a large glass. To get the oils out of the mint leaves, gently press them with a muddler or spoon.
- Put in the matcha and ice
Put ice cubes in the glass, then pour the whisked matcha over the top. - Add sparkling water on top
Add sparkling water and mix it gently. - Add the garnish and serve.
Put more lime slices and mint leaves on top. Put in a straw and enjoy!
Substitutions & Variations
- No honey? You can use agave syrup or maple syrup instead.
- No sparkling water? Drink coconut water or plain water.
- Want it to be creamy? For a matcha mojito latte, add a little oat or coconut milk.
- Add some alcohol to it! For a classic mojito variation, add a shot of white rum.
Storage and Leftovers
It’s best to eat it right away, but if you have leftovers, you may keep them in a sealed jar in the fridge for a few hours. Before you drink, stir!
