- In a small pot, heat water to 160-170°F (just below boiling).
- In a separate bowl, whisk 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with a splash of warm water until frothy.
- Steep a thumb-sized piece of kombu in the warm water for 5 minutes, then remove.
- Add the frothy matcha, grated ginger, and kombu-infused water into a cup. Stir well.
- Optional: Add a slice of lemon or a teaspoon of honey to taste.
Notes
No umeboshi? Substitute with a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon. Add chia seeds or yuzu juice for extra boost. Cut matcha by half for a lower-caffeine version, Adjust the matcha and ginger for more or less intensity, depending on your preference. Enjoy hot or cold!
