The Recipe: Matcha-Coconut Cooler
This recipe makes one vibrant, 10-ounce serving.
Step-by-Step Preparation Instructions
- Prep the Zen Base: In a small bowl or cup, add your sifted matcha powder and 2 oz of warm water. Using a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small frother, vigorously whisk in a fast "W" motion until the mixture is completely smooth and a thin layer of foam appears on top. Set aside.
- Build the Foundation: Fill a tall, clear glass completely with ice cubes. Add the fresh lime juice and your chosen sweetener (maple syrup or agave) into the glass.
- Pour the Breeze: Gently pour the chilled coconut water over the ice.
- Create the Swirl: This is the most engaging step! Slowly pour the whisked matcha base over the coconut water. For a beautiful layered look, pour the matcha directly onto an ice cube, allowing it to drizzle and mix slowly, creating a stunning green cloud effect.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the glass with a vibrant lime wheel on the rim and a light dusting of toasted coconut flakes on top of the ice. Stir gently just before taking your first sip and enjoy The Tropical Zen!
