Pin Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Matcha whisk (chasen) (or frother or a jar with a lid - to mix the matcha powder and water)
- 1 Small sifter
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Ceremonial grade matcha
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2/4 cup Warm water (about 176F)
- 4 cups Watermelon (cubed) (and a few extra small slices for garnish)
- ¼ cup Mint
- 2 Limes (squeezed)
- ½ cup Tequila
- Ice cubes
Instructions
Prepping your glasses
- Make the matcha salt rim by mixing the salt and ¼ teaspoon of matcha powder on a plate.
- Cut a lime wedge and run it around the rim, then dip the glass in the matcha salt mixture.
Matcha
- Sift 2 teaspoons of matcha into a bowl to remove clumps.
- Add ¼ cup of warm water into the bowl and using a matcha whisk, whisk the matcha making a “W” shape until the powder is dissolved, about 20-30 seconds. You should see a layer of foam. If you don't have a whisk, add the matcha powder and water into a mason jar and shake until dissolved or use a frother.
Watermelon mixture
- In a blender, add the watermelon cubes, mint, lime juice, tequila, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth.
Assembly
- Add ice to your rimmed glasses.
- Pour the watermelon mixture into your glasses leaving ⅛th of it for the matcha.
- Top off with the matcha.
- Add a mint leaf and watermelon slice for garnish.
