How to Brew Matcha for Your Mojito
Let It Cool: For cocktails, let the matcha sit for a minute before adding it to your mojito to avoid melting the ice too quickly.
Sift the Matcha: Use a fine sieve to remove any clumps.
Whisk with Warm Water: Add about 1 teaspoon of matcha to a bowl with 2 ounces of hot water (about 175°F). Use a bamboo whisk or milk frother to mix until frothy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use store-bought matcha lattes instead of matcha powder?
It’s best to use pure matcha powder for the most authentic flavor. Store-bought matcha lattes often contain added sugar and milk, which can change the taste and texture of the cocktail.
What kind of matcha should I use?
Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor, but culinary-grade matcha works well if you’re mixing it into drinks.
