Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice divided
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk I used non-sweetened, full-fat. If you use sweetened, you’ll need to reduce the amount of sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
- 2-3 tablespoons simple syrup (or honey, you can adjust the sweetness by using more or less)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together matcha green tea powder, ginger powder, and 1/3 cup of pineapple juice until dissolved. (Make sure you mix it very well and there’s no lumps.)
- In a large pitcher, add coconut milk, the rest of the pineapple juice, and the matcha green tea mixture. Mix well.
- Add syrup to your desired sweetness. (It’s important to start with a small amount, and gradually add more.)
- Fill a glass halfway with ice and pour the mixture into the glass. Serve and enjoy immediately.

Notes
- To make sure the matcha powder and ginger powder dissolve properly, you’ll need to mix them with a small amount of pineapple juice first. Mix very well until there are no clumps of powder in the mixture.
- Matcha green tea powder gives your drink a nice green color. You can adjust the amount of matcha powder to make the color lighter or darker.
- If you don’t like the tiny white particles (from the powder) in the drink, strain the mixture through cheesecloth or a coffee filter before adding the syrup.
- You can customize the sweetness of your pineapple green tea drink. Start with a small amount of syrup or sugar, taste, and gradually add more for the perfect subtle touch. Use stevia for a healthy option.
