1 small piece dried kombu (thumb-sized)

8 ounces warm water (around 160–170Β°F)

Optional: splash of lemon juice or drizzle of honey

Instructions

  2. Heat water to 160–170Β°F, do not boil.
  3. Steep the kombu in the warm water for 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a splash of warm water until frothy.
  5. Remove kombu from the water.
  6. Stir in the umeboshi, grated ginger, and frothy matcha into the kombu water.

Notes

  • No umeboshi? Substitute with a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon.
  • Add chia seeds or yuzu juice for an extra boost.
  • Cut matcha by half for a lower-caffeine version.
  • Store any leftover drink in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
