Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 tsp Ceremonial Matcha Powder, sifted
- 100ml Hot Water (175°F /80°C)
- 2 bottles Yakult (80ml)
- 1.2C Ice Cubes
- 1 Wedge Fresh Lemon, juiced
- Honey
- Simple Syrup
- Maple Syrup
Instructions
- 1
Sift 1-2 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps. Sifting is a crucial step for achieving that velvety texture.
- 2
Pour 100ml of hot water (about 175°F or 80°C) into the bowl with the matcha powder.
- 3
175°F (80°C) is the perfect matcha brewing temperature. This temperature is ideal because it allows the matcha powder to dissolve properly without scorching it, which can result in a bitter taste. Boiling water at 212°F or 100°C is too hot and can destroy the delicate flavors and nutrients in matcha, so it’s important to let the water cool slightly before using it.
- 4
Use your matcha whisk to vigorously whisk in a "W" or "M" motion to mix the matcha and water until it forms a smooth, frothy paste. Set aside.
- 5
Fill the serving glass with ice cubes.
- 6
Add two bottles of Yakult to the glass.
- 7
Pour the whisked matcha into a glass filled with ice and Yakult.
- 8
Squeeze a wedge of fresh lemon juice into the glass. Stir to combine.
- 9
Taste the matcha Yakult drink and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add a drizzle of honey or simple syrup for extra sweetness.

Give it a final stir, and your Matcha Yakult Drink is ready to enjoy!
