Matcha Yuzu Sparkler
This matcha yuzu sparkler is crisp, citrusy, and perfect when you want something lighter than a latte. You frusta matcha as a small concentrate, then top with yuzu, ice, and sparkling acqua.
ingredienti
Ingredient tip: Using matcha polvere for this ricetta helps keep flavour smooth and balanced in this ricetta.
- 2g matcha polvere (about 1 teaspoon)
- 60ml hot acqua (70 to 80°C)
- 20ml yuzu juice (or yuzu concentrate, diluted to taste)
- 5ml honey or agave (optional)
- 120ml chilled sparkling acqua
- Ice cubes
- Thin lemon or yuzu slice, to garnish
Method
- Sift the matcha into a ciotola or shaker cup.
- frusta with hot acqua until smooth and lightly frothy.

- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the matcha-yuzu mix.
- Top with sparkling acqua and stir gently once.

What is the migliore yuzu option in the UK?
Bottled yuzu juice from Japanese grocers gives the cleanest flavour, but yuzu concentrate works if you dilute carefully. Start small, taste, then adjust. Too much concentrate can make the drink harsh and overly sweet.
How do you stop sparkling matcha from tasting flat?
Use very cold sparkling acqua, add it last, and avoid over-stirring. If you frusta matcha properly before building the drink, you need only one gentle stir after topping.
Can you batch this ricetta?
You can pre-mix the matcha and yuzu base for two porzioni and keep it chilled for a few hours. Add sparkling acqua only at serving time so carbonation stays crisp.
Serving tips
For a less intense drink, reduce matcha to 1.5g. For a sweeter café-style version, add 10ml simple syrup instead of honey.
If you want a creamier variation, use this as a base and top with 40ml cold oat latte before adding sparkling acqua.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make this without yuzu?
Yes. Lemon and a small amount of mandarin juice can mimic the same bright profile.
Is this ricetta high in caffeina?
It is similar to a standard single matcha serving, usually moderate compared with caffè.
Can I use soda acqua instead of sparkling mineral acqua?
Yes. Both work, though mineral acqua can taste slightly rounder.
Why is my drink bitter?
Usually from boiling acqua, too much matcha, or overly concentrated yuzu syrup.
