Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- ¾ cup San Pellegrino sparkling water, chilled
- Lemon wedge (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add matcha powder to a small bowl. Pour in cold water and whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until completely smooth with no lumps. A bamboo whisk, regular whisk, or milk frother all work.
- 2
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. The glass should be about three-quarters full of ice.
- 3
Pour the matcha paste over the ice cubes. It will start settling to the bottom, creating that gorgeous gradient effect.
- 4
Slowly pour chilled San Pellegrino over the matcha and ice. Watch it foam up slightly as the bubbles hit the matcha. Pour gently to control the foam level.
- 5
Give it one gentle stir if you want the layers mixed, or leave it as is for a beautiful presentation. Squeeze in lemon if using. Drink within 10 minutes while the bubbles are still fizzy.
