Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use hot water for the whole drink?+
This is specifically an iced version, but you can skip the ice for a hot Yuzu Matcha.
What if I don't have a bamboo whisk?+
You can use a small milk frother or a fork, though the foam may not be as fine and creamy.
Is Yuzu juice sweet or sour?+
Pure Yuzu juice is very tart and acidic, so you may add a teaspoon of honey if you prefer sweetness.
Can I substitute lime?+
Lime is more acidic and sharp, but it is a decent substitute if Yuzu is unavailable.
