1–2 g HEALTHBAR Matcha with about 30 ml water (80 °C) until smooth and free of lumps.

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • Extra fancy? Top with a sprig of rosemary or dried lime.
  • The more tart the grapefruit, the stronger the contrast with the Matcha.
  • Also works with blood orange or lime as a variation!
Can I make the drink without tonic?

Yes – sparkling water or ginger ale work too. But tonic brings that signature bitter note that harmonises wonderfully with Matcha.
Does the tonic make the Matcha bitter?

No – HEALTHBAR Ceremonial Matcha stays mild. The key is to froth it well or whisk it until smooth.
Can I prepare the grapefruit juice in advance?

Yes – freshly squeezed juice keeps for about 1 day in the fridge.
