I entered Matcha Tea's Summer of Matcha competition to see if I could come up with a drink recipe using the free sample of Matcha that I was sent in the post.I had the choice between Matcha's original, mint or ginger tea.
I went for the original in the hopes it would broaden my flavour options.
The tea came in a resealable paper envelope along with instructions on how to prepare the tea and a tiny scoop.
The tea it's self was easy enough to prepare.
Fill one third of a your cup with near boiling water, toss in 2 scoops of Matcha and use a frother to whisk then, I am not fancy enough to own a frother so I used a fork like a peasant!
Add more water if you fancy it.

On to my recipe.
If you have read my other recipes you will know I like to keep things nice, simple and quick so don't expect anything flashy other wise you will likely be disappointed!
Ingredients:
Water melon chunks.
Matcha Tea.
1 chunk of cantaloupe to jazz up it up a bit.
Boiling water.
Ice.
Method:
Make you tea as per the instructions above, then leave the tea to cool, I put my tea in the fridge to hurry things along.
While your tea is cooling blend your water melon chunks, I bought pre cut water melon.
Strain both your tea and water melon into the glass of your choice.
Add ice and slip your chunk of cantaloupe onto the edge of the glass to make it look a bit more fancy, but only if you want to, I am not the boss of you.
That's it, that's my entry for the Summer of Matcha competition.
I don't think I will win but it is a really refreshing drink, it's quick, easy simple.
I have also read that water melon juice is set to be very trendy this summer so this might be a good twist and a head start on the next big fruity fad.
Plus if your man is having trouble rising to the occasion, water melon is apparently nature Viagra!
The Matcha on it's own is a really nice tea so if you get the chance you should get some, if only to join the #eatcleantea army with your very own green stripes!
