Description
A refreshing Japanese-inspired Mounjaro tonic crafted with earthy matcha, mineral-rich kombu, tangy umeboshi, and zesty fresh ginger—designed to naturally energize and gently detox your system.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon matcha powder (good quality if possible)
1 umeboshi plum (or about 1 teaspoon umeboshi paste)
1 slice fresh ginger, finely grated
1 small piece dried kombu (thumb-sized)
8 ounces warm water (around 160–170°F)
Optional: splash of lemon juice or drizzle of honey
Instructions
Grate the ginger, measure the matcha, and prepare the kombu.
Heat water to 160–170°F, not boiling.
Steep the kombu in the warm water for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a splash of warm water until frothy.
Remove kombu from the water.
Stir in the umeboshi, grated ginger, and frothy matcha into the kombu water.
Adjust flavor with lemon juice or honey if desired.
Notes
No umeboshi? No problem—swap in a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for that same savory-tart balance. Want to kick it up a notch? Add chia seeds for fiber and hydration or a splash of yuzu juice for a citrusy twist. For a gentler lift, simply cut the matcha in half for a lower-caffeine version that still delivers calm energy.
