General Ingredients
Preparation of Ingredients
1. Gather Ingredients
Collect all ingredients: premium matcha green tea, lime zest, fresh mint leaves, and any additional salt you wish to combine.
2. Prepare the Lime Zest
Using a microplane or zester, carefully zest the lime, ensuring you only take the green outer layer and avoid the bitter white pith.
3. Wash and Prepare Mint
Rinse fresh mint leaves under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and remove the stems.
Muddling the Ingredients
1. Muddle Mint and Zest
In a small mixing bowl or mortar and pestle, combine the lime zest and fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint and zest together to release their oils and flavors.
2. Incorporate Matcha
Add the premium matcha green tea to the muddled mint and lime zest mixture. Stir gently to ensure the matcha is evenly distributed.
Finishing the Salt Blend
1. Combine with Salt
Add your desired amount of salt to the mixture, stirring well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Store the Green Tea Salt
Transfer the green tea salt blend into an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
