Method
- Grate the ginger, measure the matcha, and prepare your piece of kombu. Get everything ready before you begin.
- Warm the water to 160–170°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, stop heating when small bubbles form around the pot’s edge.
- Place the kombu in the warm water and let it steep for 5 minutes to release minerals and flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha with a splash of warm water until smooth and frothy using a whisk or fork.
- Remove the kombu from the water and stir in the grated ginger, umeboshi, and whisked matcha.
- Add lemon juice or honey to taste. Stir well and serve warm or over ice.
Notes
Use cold water and a longer steep if you prefer it iced. Always shake before drinking if stored.
