Matcha Yuzu Sparkler
This matcha yuzu sparkler is crisp, citrusy, and perfect when you want something lighter than a latte. You klopper matcha as a small concentrate, then top with yuzu, ice, and sparkling water.
ingrediënten

- 2g matcha poeder (about 1 teaspoon)
- 60ml hot water (70 to 80°C)

- 5ml honey or agave (optional)
- 120ml chilled sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Thin lemon or yuzu slice, to garnish

What is the beste 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 water, add it last, and avoid over-stirring. If you klopper matcha properly before building the drink, you need only one gentle stir after topping.
Can you batch this recept?
You can pre-mix the matcha and yuzu base for two porties and keep it chilled for a few hours. Add sparkling water 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 melk before adding sparkling water.
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 recept high in cafeïne?
It is similar to a standard single matcha serving, usually moderate compared with koffie.
Can I use soda water instead of sparkling mineral water?
Yes. Both work, though mineral water can taste slightly rounder.
Why is my drink bitter?
Usually from boiling water, too much matcha, or overly concentrated yuzu syrup.
