Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Gyokuro green tea leaves high quality, shade-grown
- 0.5 cup Water heated to exactly 140°F/60°C
- 1 cup Baby spinach fresh and tightly packed
- 1 cup Frozen pineapple chunks for natural sweetness
- 0.5 cup Hass avocado pitted and peeled for creaminess
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1 tbsp Honey optional, to balance the umami
- 1 tsp Fresh lime juice to brighten the color and flavor
Notes
To preserve the bright green color, serve immediately. You can freeze the brewed tea into ice cubes ahead of time for an even frostier texture. If Gyokuro leaves are unavailable, high-quality Matcha powder (1 tsp) can be substituted, though the flavor profile will shift from savory-sweet to more earthy.
