Easy Matcha Simple Syrup (Green Tea Syrup)
Description
Easy Matcha Simple Syrup combines granulated sugar with matcha powder and water to create a green tea flavored syrup. By whisking the powders first and then simmering with water, the sugar dissolves completely while the matcha's delicate flavor infuses throughout. This syrup has a liquid consistency typical of simple syrups but can be made thicker by adding extra sugar if desired.
The syrup carries the unique earthy taste and vibrant green color of matcha, making it well-suited for sweetening teas, cocktails, or drizzling over desserts. Its smooth texture integrates easily without graininess.
Once cooled, the syrup should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and ideally used within three days to preserve the fresh matcha flavor. Substituting brown sugar will darken the syrup and mute the bright green hue characteristic of matcha syrup.
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup granulated sugar Substitute: other sweeteners such as brown sugar, honey, maple syrup etc, white
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- ¼ Cup water
Instructions
- Add the sugar and matcha powder to the pot. Whisk to make sure the 2 powders are well-mixed.
- Add the water, and switch on the heat. Simmer for 5-10 minutes or till at the desired consistency, whisking every now and then to make sure the sugar doesn't burn at the bottom of the pot.
- Once all the sugar and matcha are dissolved, and you're happy with the texture, switch off the fire and allow to coo. (Note: simple syrup has a watery consistency. For something thicker, double the sugar to make matcha rich syrup.)
- Once cooled, store in an air-tight container in the fridge. Ideally, use within 3 days or the taste will start to change.
Notes
- Use granulated sugar to maintain the bright green color of the matcha syrup; brown sugar will darken it.
- Store the syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within three days for best taste.
- Simmer gently while whisking to prevent burning, ensuring a smooth syrup consistency.
