Ingredients
1 teaspoon premium matcha powder
1 tablespoon umeboshi plum paste
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 small strip about 2 inches of dried kombu (kelp)
1 cup hot water not boiling, about 175°F/80°C
1 teaspoon raw honey optional, for added sweetness
Instructions
Soak the kombu strip in 1 cup of hot water for 3 minutes to extract its minerals, then remove and discard the kombu.
Whisk the matcha powder into the infused water until smooth and frothy.
Stir in the umeboshi plum paste and grated ginger until fully blended.
Add honey if you prefer a hint of sweetness.
Sip slowly and savor the rich, complex flavors.
Notes
- For a bolder matcha taste, use 1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder.
- If you can’t find umeboshi plum paste, mash 1–2 whole umeboshi plums as a substitute.
- Add a squeeze of lemon for an extra zing and a boost of vitamin C.
- Always use freshly grated ginger for maximum flavor and benefits.
- Try different types of honey, like manuka, for added wellness benefits.
