Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add 2 cups of the water to a small pot and bring to a boil. Add mint leaves, then turn off the heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
Reserve 3 tablespoons hot water from the pot and add to a small bowl. Add in matcha powder. Whisk with a matcha whisk or frother until combined and frothy. Set aside.
Add agave to the pot of mint tea and stir well. Pour through a fine mesh strainer or colander to strain out the mint leaves. You can keep the mint leaves in the drink if desired.
To a blender, add the peeled kiwi and the remaining 1/2 cup of water (fresh water, not from the pot of tea) and blend until combined, about 30 seconds. Pour through a fine mesh sieve and press lightly to squeeze out more liquid. Save the remaining pulp for smoothies or other recipes.
To a pitcher, combine the kiwi juice, mint tea, and matcha mixture and stir together. Add a handful of ice to two glasses. Pour the tea into the glasses. Alternatively, if you want to skip the pitcher, you can divide the kiwi juice, mint tea, and matcha mixture directly into the glasses, then add ice. Enjoy!

Notes

The tea is best enjoyed immediately, as the flavors will be the freshest, but it can be stored in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. Because the matcha flavor really comes through, the quality of your matcha powder matters in this drink! I recommend a ceremonial grade matcha, such as Tenzo matcha powder.
