Lavender Green Tea Manuka Syrup
Manuka Health partners with award-winning bartender Julia Momose (Kumiko, Chicago) to create a spirit-free drink using Manuka Health honey as a key ingredient
Ingredients
-
5 grams loose leaf Japanese green tea (I use premium organic sencha from Kyoto)
-
1 - 2 grams dried French lavender flowers
-
200 ml 175°F water
-
Manuka Health Honey
-
1/2 ounce Lavender Green Tea Manuka Syrup
-
2-4 ounces freshly whisked matcha (or other green tea)
-
Sparkling Water (to top) *also tasty with club soda or tonic water
-
Steep green tea and lavender flowers in the hot water for 2 minutes.
-
Strain, and weigh the liquid.
-
Divide that number in half and measure that amount of Manuka Health Honey into the tea (if there is 200 ml of tea, measure in 100 grams of Manuka honey).
-
Stir until the honey is fully dissolved. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for a week.
-
Measure the Lavender Green Tea Manuka Syrup and cooled matcha (or other tea) into a glass.
-
Top off with sparkling water and stir gently to combine.
Lavender Manuka Matcha (hot)
Prepare matcha as you like and sweeten with a teaspoon or so of the syrup.
