Instructions

The Zen Mojito is a serene twist on the classic mojito, infusing the refreshing elements of the original with the earthy, umami notes of matcha. A delicate balance of flavors, this cocktail offers a meditative experience that transports you straight to a tranquil Japanese garden. Best served in a tall Collins glass and garnished with a touch of oriental elegance. **Ingredients:** - 50 ml white rum - 20 ml homemade matcha syrup - 15 ml fresh lime juice - 10 ml simple syrup - 6-8 fresh mint leaves - Soda water to top up - Ice cubes **Homemade Matcha Syrup:** - 2 teaspoons high-quality matcha powder - 100 ml water - 100 ml sugar **Garnish:** - Fresh mint sprig - Thinly sliced lime wheel - Edible gold leaf (optional) **Instructions:** 1. **Prepare the Matcha Syrup:** - In a small saucepan, combine 100 ml water and 100 ml sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. - Remove the saucepan from heat. Whisk in the 2 teaspoons of matcha powder until fully incorporated and there are no lumps. - Allow the syrup to cool completely and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining matcha clumps. Store in a bottle for later use. 2. **Mix the Drink:** - In a tall Collins glass, gently muddle 6-8 fresh mint leaves with 10 ml simple syrup to release their aroma and oils. - Add the 50 ml white rum, 20 ml matcha syrup, and 15 ml fresh lime juice to the glass. - Fill the glass with ice cubes and top up with soda water. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients. 3. **Garnish:** - Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint and a thinly sliced lime wheel on the rim of the glass. - For an extra touch of elegance, you can add a small piece of edible gold leaf on the mint sprig or the lime wheel.
