Red White and Blue Matcha Summer Bliss Recipe

Now that July is here Summer is in full swing and the heat is hard to escape. Instead of succumbing to the sun, kick back and enjoy some frozen Hibiscus Matcha Bliss to keep cool and get in your daily dose of matcha. Our Organic Hibiscus Matcha is made with real Hibiscus flowers, no synthetic flavors. You get the full benefits of all the vitamin C in the Hibiscus in addition to the other nutrients in it and our organic matcha. Plus with superfood Monkfruit extract, no additional sweetener is needed! That is exactly 22g of sugar LESS than a Starbucks Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher.

Celebrate the Fourth of July and stay cool with this special Red White and Blue Matcha Bliss recipe that makes enough to share with all your friends (especially if you only have 5 friends).

Red White and Blue Matcha Summer Bliss Recipe:

Serves 6 medium 1 cup size portions

Ingredients:

1. 2 Tbsp (5g) of Sugimoto America Organic Hibiscus Matcha
2. 1 Cup Water
3. 8 Medium Strawberries (destemmed)- save 3 for presentation
4. ~12 Ice Cubes
5. 1 Pint Haagen Dazs Non-Dairy Coconut Caramel Ice Cream
6. 1 Cup Fresh Blueberries
7. Fresh Basil Leaves

Directions:

1. Combine SA Hibiscus Matcha with water and thoroughly mix
2. Add the SA Hibiscus Matcha water mix to the blender and add 5 strawberries and ice cubes
3. Blend until achieving a slushie consistency and then set aside
4. Add 2 small scoops of ice cream to each bowl or cup
5. Add 2 scoops of the Hibiscus Matcha slushie on top
6. Garnish with fresh blueberries and halved strawberries and basil
7. Enjoy!

The creamy coconut based non-dairy ice cream not only keeps this recipe vegan, but also adds the perfect creamy compliment to the Hibiscus Matcha Slushie portion. You can also just make the slushie on it’s own! We definitely recommend keeping in the basil, though. But whatever you make, we’d love to hear how it tasted and see a picture!

And don’t forget that until July 31st, 2018, all our matchas and powders are on sale for 20% off. Just get all the matcha you want, and the discount will show up in your shopping cart.
