Matcha Mint Cooler

Instructions

  1. 1

    Muddle the mint leaves gently with the simple syrup in a pitcher — press just enough to release the oils without tearing the leaves (which causes bitterness).

  2. 2

    Add cold water and lime juice to the pitcher. Stir and let the mint infuse for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, sift matcha into a bowl, add hot water, and whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Fill two glasses with ice. Strain the mint water over the ice.

  5. 5

    Pour the matcha concentrate over the back of a spoon to layer it on top. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig.

Pro tip

Gentle muddling is key — over-muddling mint releases chlorophyll and tannins that make it taste bitter and grassy rather than fresh and bright.
