Ingredients:

• 10-15 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon Matcha Nude
• 3 oz hot (NOT BOILING) water (160-170°F)
• 1 lime (for juicing and garnishing) or 2 tablespoons of lime juiceIce 🧊 
• Sparkling water (lime-flavored or plain, we love Spindrift nojito)
• Optional: a squeeze of honey, agave, or maple syrup
• Optional: 1 ½ ounces of rum or vodka (for those who like a little kick)

Let's Get Mixing!

1. Minty Freshness: Grab those fresh mint leaves, give them a good chop, and squeeze to release that minty magic. If you really want to unleash the flavor, muddle them in a bowl. Then, toss the mint into a loose leaf tea steeper.
2. Steep the Mint: Add the tea steeper to your hot water and let it steep for 30 seconds to a minute. This step is key to infusing your drink with that fresh mint flavor.
3. Matcha Magic: Take your minty hot water and add in your 1/2 tsp matcha. Whisk it together until it’s nice and frothy. An electric milk frother would be easiest for this recipe. If you’re a mint fanatic, feel free to add the crushed mint leaves directly to your glass.
4. Build Your Mojito: Fill your glass with ice, pour in the frothy matcha mix, and squeeze in half a lime (or add your lime juice). Adjust to taste.
5. Fizz It Up: Top off your creation with sparkling water. If you’re feeling adventurous and are of legal drinking age, splash in some rum or vodka.
6. Finishing Touches: Garnish with extra lime slices and fresh mint leaves for that Instagram-worthy look.
7. Sip and Enjoy: Take a moment to admire your handiwork, then dive in! This drink is as refreshing as it gets.
