Description

A traditional Japanese wellness tonic made with matcha, kombu, umeboshi, and ginger. Perfect for gut support and morning rituals.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder

1 small strip dried kombu (about 2 inches)

1 tsp unsweetened umeboshi plum paste (or 1 whole plum, pitted and mashed)

1 tsp freshly grated ginger

1 cup warm water (not boiling, about 175°F/80°C)


Instructions

1. Soak the kombu strip in the warm water for 10 minutes. Once the water is infused, remove and discard the kombu.

2. To the kombu-infused water, add the matcha powder, umeboshi paste, and freshly grated ginger.

3. Using a bamboo whisk or a small milk frother, whisk vigorously until the matcha is completely dissolved and a light froth forms on top.

4. Pour into a mug and sip slowly while warm.

Notes

This recipe has a bold flavor profile that is salty, sour, and earthy, true to traditional Japanese wellness tonics.

Where to Buy: You can find kombu and umeboshi at most Japanese markets, larger health food stores, or online retailers specializing in Asian foods.
