Matcha Tonic Mocktail

This Matcha Tonic Mocktail is the answer to our prayers for a new refreshing drink to assuage the end-of-summer swelter we are experiencing in Chicago. Inspired by our Kale Matcha Garden Granola®, this mocktail effortlessly fuses the spice and zest of fresh ginger with the vegetal sweetness of ceremonial-grade matcha, fresh lime, and effervescent tonic water. It’s vibrant, refreshing, and invigorating like every summer sipper should be! Cheers to the perfect way to savor the last days of summer!  

Vegan & Gluten Free

Makes 1

Ingredients

• Ice cubes

• Tonic Water (I used Fever Tree)

• Lime wheels 2-3

Ginger Simple Syrup

• 1/2 c sugar

• 1/2 c water

• 1 inch knob ginger, peeled and sliced

Matcha Shot

• 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha

• 2 oz of hot water

Directions:

Ginger Simple Syrup

1. Add 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 inch knob of peeled and thinly sliced ginger root to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce and simmer over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.

2. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. Strain syrup through fine mesh and set aside.

Matcha Shot

1. Combine 2 oz of hot water with 1 tsp of matcha powder.

2. Using a matcha whisk, whisk together the matcha until combined. If you don’t have a matcha whisk, you can use a small glass jar with a lid and vigorously shake the matcha and water together. Set aside and let cool.

Build the Matcha Tonic Mocktail

1. Fill a tall highball glass or tumbler to the brim with ice cubes.

2. Pour tonic water over ice leaving about an inch from the top of the glass.

3. Pour 2 teaspoons of ginger syrup into the prepared 2 oz matcha shot and stir.

4. Pour the matcha shot and ginger syrup mixture into the glass.

5. Top off glass with any remaining tonic if desired.

6. Gently stir to combine.

7. Submerge a lime wheel or two into the glass and add one to the rim to garnish.

8. Sip and enjoy!

Recipe tips

• Get it icy cold! Chill your glass in the freezer for the perfect temperature on a cool day.

• For a spicier tasting ginger simple syrup, after removing from heat, cover the saucepan to let the ginger infuse the syrup for at least one hour.

• Ginger simple syrup is great to have on hand for cocktails and mocktails and excess can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks!

Have you heard sweet potatoes 🍠 are the new toast!? And these sweet tater slices topped with ✨Carrot Turmeric Garden Granola ✨by @alisondoesitbetter really got our attention! Enjoy for breakfast, lunch or any time of day!

Recipe:
Vegan Sweet Potato Toast with chive cream cheese, VDF Carrot turmeric granola, manuka honey and parsley

Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato

  • the bigger and relatively tube shaped sweet potatoes will be easier to cut

• 1-2 tbsp of @kitehillfoods chive cream cheese⁣⁣⁠

• 1 Half of a mashed avocado 

• salt & Pepper to taste

• 1/3-1/2 cup Victory Dance Foods Carrot Turmeric Garden Granola

• small bunch Parsley⁣⁣⁠ (washed and dried)

• 1-2 tbsp manuka honey ⁣⁣⁠

Steps:
1. wash and scrub your sweet potato
2. Pat dry with paper towel or let air dry

tips: You don’t want to cut it to thin or the slices won’t hold up. A mandolin slicer can also be used if you have one.
alternative method: You can boil the sweet potato for 5 minutes then let it fully cool before slicing it.
4. Place slices in toaster. you will have to experiment here on settings the goal is to get them to be fork tender. (a conventional toaster or toaster oven can be used)
5. let cool briefly on wire rack
6. add toppings! in the order they are listed above!

ENJOY!
