Ingredients & Substitutions
If you can’t find fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor won’t be quite as bright. And if you’re not into agave, maple syrup works beautifully as a substitute! Don’t skip the straining step if you want a smoother drink—trust me, it’s worth it.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my fresh mint in a glass of water in the fridge—it stays fresh for days!
- •For a fun twist, try adding a splash of coconut water for added hydration.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I'll toss in a handful of frozen berries while blending for a fruity twist.
- •You could also try adding a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy version!
Storage & Freezing
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a little shake before you drink, as the ingredients may settle!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the mint mixture and whisk the matcha in advance. Just keep them separate until you're ready to serve, and then mix them together. It'll stay good in the fridge for a day or two.
