- 1 teaspoon (5 g) matcha powder, high-quality ceremonial-grade
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) hot water
Main Drink
- ½ cup (120 ml) 100% pure pineapple juice (no added sugar or preservatives)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) full-fat coconut milk (shake canned coconut milk well before measuring)
- ½ to 1 teaspoon (2.5–5 ml) ginger juice or minced ginger (start with ½ teaspoon and adjust for spiciness if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare matcha mixture: Add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder and ⅓ cup hot water to a cup. Whisk thoroughly with a matcha whisk or handheld milk frother until the matcha powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a silky texture for the drink.
- Combine ingredients: In a cocktail shaker or large mason jar, combine the prepared matcha mixture, ½ cup pineapple juice, ½ to 1 teaspoon ginger juice or minced ginger, and ¼ cup coconut milk. Seal the container tightly to prevent spills.
