Minty Matcha Mojito
Here's a zingy, energising#matcha#mojito recipe for you to cool down with this Summer...
Just as easy to make as a regular mojito but with the addition of some nutritious liquid energy matcha Syrup (you can store this in the fridge for a week and add to lattes, oats or more mojitos!)
For the matcha syrup
1 tablespoon honey or maple Syrup
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons liquid energy
For the mojito
5 to 10 mint leaves (depending on the size of the leaves and how minty you like your mojito - I ramp up the mint)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional if you like a sweet one)
1 thick slice of lime (the peel will impart some bitterness when muddled; this is important!)
1 to 2 tablespoons matcha syrup (depending on how sweet you like it)
1 tablespoon lime juice
25 - 50 ml white or gold rum (white is traditionally used, but gold is fine, too)
100 ml soda water
1 cup ice cubes or crushed ice
How to:
1. muddle mint leaves and lime slices in your serving glass 🍸
2. make your matcha syrup by pouring warm water onto your matcha and giving it a whisk.. And then mix in the syrup until it dissolves
3. add ice to your glass and pour a good glug of the matcha syrup with and equally good glug of rum before topping with soda water.
4. Enjoy!! #mojito
