Ingredients
- 1 cup water 235ml
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder preferably culinary grade
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
Instructions
- Add the water to a saucepan over a high heat and bring to the boil.
- Matcha has a tendency to clump, so to avoid this happening, add the matcha green tea powder to a small bowl along with 2 tablespoons of the boiled water and stir or whisk to dissolve the powder. Set aside.
- Stir the sugar into the pot of boiling water, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk the dissolved matcha into the sugar syrup. Set aside to infuse and cool slightly for 10 minutes.
- Place the fine mesh sieve over a bowl, and strain the matcha syrup into it to remove any undissolved matcha. You can skip this step if there are no clumps of matcha powder.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely, then pour into a clean jar or bottle.
- Store the matcha simple syrup in the refrigerator. It should keep for about 1-2 weeks.
