🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Matcha
-
Sift 2 tsp (4 g) of matcha into your Chawan using the Furui (Sifter).
-
Add 120 ml (4 oz) of hot water (~77 °C / 170 °F).
-
Whisk briskly with your Chasen for 15–20 seconds in a “W” motion until smooth and slightly foamy.
-
Let it cool for a minute before adding it to the cold mixture.
2️⃣ Make the Ginger Base
-
In a glass or shaker, combine grated ginger (or ginger juice) and sweetener.
-
Stir or shake lightly until the honey or syrup dissolves.
-
Optional: strain to remove ginger fibers for a smoother drink.
3️⃣ Assemble the Drink
-
Fill two glasses halfway with ice cubes.
-
Divide the ginger base evenly between the glasses.
-
Slowly pour in the cooled matcha over the ice.
-
Top with sparkling water and stir gently.
4️⃣ Garnish and Serve
-
Garnish each glass with a slice of lime or a few mint leaves.
-
Watch the soft green swirls form — vibrant and refreshing.
-
Serve immediately while sparkling and aromatic.
🌸 Pro Tips for Perfect Balance
-
Cool matcha before mixing. Hot matcha will flatten the fizz.
-
Fresh ginger makes all the difference. Powdered ginger lacks the same brightness.
-
Use quality sparkling water with fine bubbles for an elegant texture.
-
Sweeten lightly. Let the ginger’s spice and matcha’s umami stay at the forefront.
-
Add ice last to keep carbonation crisp.
⚡ Variations to Try
-
Mint Ginger Fizz: Add crushed mint for extra freshness.
-
Citrus Matcha Fizz: Replace part of the sparkling water with lemonade or orange soda.
-
Coconut Ginger Fizz: Mix in 30 ml (1 oz) of coconut water for tropical sweetness.
-
Iced Matcha Mule: Add a squeeze of lime and ginger syrup for a mocktail feel.
-
Ginger Green Spritz: Use tonic water instead of soda for a slightly bitter twist.
🧽 Cleaning and Care
-
Rinse your Chawan and Chasen immediately after use with warm water.
-
Avoid soap — natural bamboo should stay fragrance-free.
-
Dry your whisk in open air, upright.
-
Store matcha in an airtight tin away from heat and sunlight.
