My matcha whisk gets more use in summer than winter, mostly because of this. A minted matcha coconut smoothie blends ceremonial matcha, coconut milk, and fresh mint over plenty of ice. The mint and the grassy matcha land somewhere cool and clean.

Sift the matcha first so you never get clumps at the bottom of the glass. Coconut milk from the can gives a richer body than the carton kind.
