  3. Balance acidity and sweetness — citrus enhances matcha’s umami flavour.
  4. Experiment with natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
  5. Serve immediately — matcha can settle if left too long.

Therefore, avoid the typical next time you reach for a drink.  Green never goes out of style, so make a vibrant Matcha Mocktail, whisk, pour, and sip your way into peaceful concentration.
