Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Pineapple: Place the fresh pineapple chunks into a blender and blend until smooth, creating a fresh pineapple puree as the base of the drink.
- Prepare Matcha: In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water until fully dissolved and frothy to ensure a smooth, vibrant tea base without lumps.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the frothy matcha mixture to the blender containing the pineapple puree, blending the flavors together.
- Add Water and Sweetener: Pour in the cold water and honey or agave syrup (if using), then blend again until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Serve Over Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the pineapple matcha drink over the ice to chill the beverage without diluting it.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finish if desired, then serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add 1/4 cup of coconut milk or almond milk during blending.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or omit it for a naturally sweetened drink.
- Use chilled water instead of adding ice to keep the drink refreshing without diluting it.
