Homemade Iced Matcha With Young Coconut Water
The goodness of matcha and young coconut water combined in a glass of freshness.
At first glance, this green drink might look like wheatgrass juice which doesn't taste good. But I can confirm that the matcha drink I make is better than wheatgrass. The bitter taste of matcha from quality matcha powder will be more acceptable to the tongue.
Again, if you have never been on a sugar diet, maybe this will be difficult for you. And, you will always think that “only drinks with sugar will always be good drinks”. On the other hand, for people who are used to a sugar diet or at least reduce their daily sugar intake, they will think that green drinks without sugar are delicious drinks like in general.
Indeed, life is constantly rotating and changing. When we are little we like sweet tastes, and as we grow up our preference for sweet tastes will change.
Back to the topic "Iced Matcha Drink With Young Coconut Water". I will mix matcha drink with young coconut water. Well, you can add coconut milk as well if you want to add a creamier texture.
I'm very happy that I've been enjoying homemade matcha drink, with no sugar. Usually, I have to drink matcha in the cafe.
Indeed, the equipment for brewing matcha in my kitchen is not complete, such as a bamboo matcha whisk. So, I just use a whisk in general to stir the matcha powder so that it mixes perfectly in warm water.
I am quite satisfied with the results of my homemade matcha drink. Even though I bought matcha powder with general quality, not the highest in quality, but the result was just perfect on my tongue. Like the ones I've drunk in cafes before. The most important thing is to make sure the matcha powder is imported from Japan.
For several days I have been drinking matcha drink in a warm version. So, I want to try another drink menu. I got the idea to make iced matcha with coconut. I still have a supply of fresh whole coconut.
Before making my idea a reality, I looked for ideas on YouTube to see if anyone had previously made a drink similar to my idea. I'm happy, it turns out there are many people who combine matcha with young coconut water also with young coconut flesh. Let's get started!
The Ingredients
- 250 ml of young coconut water
- 150 ml of warm water (70 degrees Celsius-80 degrees Celsius)
- 5 grams of matcha powder
- young coconut meat to taste
- enough ice cubes for serving
- (add natural sweetener if you like sweet taste)
Instructions
First, I prepared young coconut. I opened the front of the coconut a little until the bald layer of the coconut was visible.
Once the layers of the coconut shell are visible, cut carefully until the coconut flesh is visible.
Carefully, pry off the coconut flesh, then remove the young coconut water.
From one young coconut, I can get 500 ml of young coconut water. Then, set it aside.
After successfully removing the young coconut water, I then split the coconut into two parts using a large machete.
Then, scoop a little young coconut flesh for garnishes. For the rest, use a fruit shaver for prettier results.
Spoon about 5 grams of matcha powder into the matcha. Then, add into a glass or bowl.
Brew the matcha powder with 150 ml of warm water. Prepare a stirrer, then beat the matcha until it is foamy and no more powder is visible at the bottom of the glass or bowl.
Honestly, yep, I have to be honest that the taste of this drink is nothing special than your favorite sweet drink :). Just a little unique savory from the matcha powder. But soooo refreshing! Also, I get a sweet taste from fresh young coconut flesh. I like this newest variant of matcha, even though it's not sweet like most drinks.
For me, who is used to drinking bitter coffee without sugar, especially brewing ground black coffee. This is my favorite without sugar.
Tips that always work for me. Don't drink for the fun and pleasure of sugar. Because it's just a trick that ultimately leads us to bad health aspects. Because bitter is better. :)

I have never seen a drink like it before, at the price you tell us the ingredients and its preparation
Enjoy it very much dear friend @anggreklestar
have a beautiful afternoon
I like drinking coconut water, but now I'm curious about its taste when added to matcha... No need to add sugar if the water is sweet ☺️

I have missed do much of your great job. This looks so good and attracting. I should try this out sometime perhaps I get the right ingredients. Thanks for sharing friend.
I have always wanted to try Matcha I have heard of its great benefits, and I think I can take it because sometimes I like sweet drinks, but I also love those with bitter or sour taste and little sweetness.😊
I really like to try this combination, although bitter, but health is very important with teas like these. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us. Best of the week beautiful 😍.
I have a brand of matcha that I like, maybe you will like it. Kazu Matcha by To A Tea. Almost every day I use it as a pre-workout substitute for coffee when I'm having gerd.
I've never really tried this recipe, I usually only make matcha with hot water or make a matcha latte. Maybe I'll try it!
Such things when made at home are much more special and have a great effect on our health.
Honesty is a great virtue 😁
I want to reduce the sugar I consume although to tell the truth it is not that much. Just 3 small spoonfuls in my coffee in the morning and on some days of the week I eat sweets. Or just some toast with honey.
I have never tried this drink and I probably won't find how to make it here, I do have coconut. And now I have to be honest, I like coconut, but what I can't stand is peeling it and it is very young, but when the dough is harder, how difficult it is to get it out.
