Description
The Japanese Mounjaro recipe is a health-boosting, detoxifying drink made with matcha, umeboshi plum, kombu, and ginger. This traditional Japanese drink supports digestion, boosts metabolism, and provides natural energy.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon matcha powder (good quality if possible)
1 umeboshi plum (or about 1 teaspoon umeboshi paste)
1 slice fresh ginger, finely grated
1 small piece dried kombu (thumb-sized)
8 ounces warm water (around 160–170°F)
Optional: splash of lemon juice or drizzle of honey
Instructions
1. Grate the ginger, measure the matcha, and prepare the kombu.
2. Heat water to 160–170°F, not boiling.
3. Steep the kombu in the warm water for 5 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a splash of warm water until frothy.
5. Remove kombu from the water.
6. Stir in the umeboshi, grated ginger, and frothy matcha into the kombu water.
7. Adjust flavor with lemon juice or honey if desired.
Notes
If umeboshi plum is unavailable, apple cider vinegar can be used for a similar tang. For a more herbal version, substitute matcha with green tea.
