Notes
- Substitution Tip: If you don’t have umeboshi, use a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon.
- Flavor Boosts: Add chia seeds, yuzu juice, or reduce matcha to ½ tsp for a lighter version.
- Reuse Kombu: The same piece of kombu can be used for a second infusion.
- Storage Tip: Kombu water can be prepared ahead and stored up to 48 hours in the fridge—add matcha fresh before serving.
