The color green of matcha mojito mocktail has never looked or tasted so good!
Matcha and mint are a natural match. The two strong flavors compliment each other surprisingly well. That earthy taste of the matcha tea comes alive when it is paired with bright, zesty mint.
That is why we just can’t get enough of this non alcoholic matcha mojito.
"we just can’t get enough"
Not all matcha powders are created equal. When you grab the ingredients to make our matcha mojito mocktail, be sure to grab culinary grade matcha powder.
Unlike ceremonial matcha which is a little grassy and fine, culinary matcha is bold and strong. It also has a slight bitter taste that is great for making foods and drinks.
You want the strong matcha taste to shine through, not get hidden. Culinary matcha should be easy to find in most specialty stores or online. Stock up, because you’ll be making this drink all the time!
Fresh mint and fresh lime are also essential to the flavor of this delicious drink. Add a few more mint leaves to the muddler if you want a stronger mint flavor. Squeeze in the juice from two limes to bring out that great citrus taste.
We think our recipe is perfect as written but you can always tweak it slightly to give your taste buds exactly what they are craving!
