Matcha Mint Cooler

Green on green, and wide awake.

  • ceremonial matcha1
  • mint syrup0.5
  • fresh lime juice0.5
  • coconut water3
  • ice
  1. 1.Sift and Whisk. Push the matcha through a small sieve into the bowl — dry clumps never fully come out — then add cool water and whisk in a rapid zigzag W for thirty seconds, from the wrist, until it suspends into silk.
  2. 2.Sweeten the Base. Mint syrup and lime juice over ice in a tall glass — syrup first, so it settles low and sets up the gradient.
  3. 3.Pour the Coconut Water. Coconut water in next, leaving an inch at the top for the green to come.
  4. 4.Float the Matcha. Pour the whisked matcha slowly over the back of a spoon so it floats on top. Serve it layered and stir at the table, not before.
