Notes

  • Start with a small piece of kombu if you’re new to kelp, then increase to taste.
  • Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Water temperature should be around 160–175°F (just below boiling) to preserve nutrients and avoid bitterness.
  • Grate ginger fresh for maximum flavor and digestive benefits.
  • Adjust sweetness or tanginess with honey, lemon, or apple cider vinegar as desired.
  • This drink can be served hot or chilled over ice for a refreshing alternative.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2–3 days, shaking before drinking.
