    Prepare the Juice

    In a blender, combine the fresh black cherries and water. Blend until smooth.

    In a small bowl, combine riboflavin powder with honey or agave syrup. Mix until well combined and a smooth paste forms.

    Add the riboflavin mixture to the prepared juice base and stir thoroughly until well incorporated.

Matcha Syrup Preparation

    Make Matcha Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine matcha powder, sugar, and water. Whisk together over low heat until the matcha powder and sugar are fully dissolved.

  2. 6

    Cool the Syrup

    Remove from heat and let the matcha syrup cool to room temperature.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine All Components

    Pour the riboflavin-infused cherry juice into serving glasses. Drizzle the matcha syrup on top of each glass.
