Notes
Tip: Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or substituting with your favorite sweetener.
To make this drink extra special, consider adding a splash of coconut milk for creaminess or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture. If you’re not a fan of sweetness, you can adjust the amount of honey or syrup according to your taste.
Store any leftover matcha concentrate in the fridge for up to 3 days, and simply shake it before serving. This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but can be prepared in advance for a quick grab-and-go option.
