Beverage
Matcha Watermelon Cooler is a refreshing fusion drink that blends earthy matcha with the natural sweetness of watermelon. Smoothly whisked matcha tea is layered over chilled watermelon juice, fizzy tonic water, and soaked chia seeds for a light, energising beverage with great texture. The subtle bitterness of matcha balances the juicy freshness of watermelon, while ice keeps it perfectly cooling. Garnished with fresh watermelon chunks, this vibrant cooler is ideal for warm days, brunches, or as a hydrating pick-me-up. It’s a modern, antioxidant-rich drink that feels both revitalising and indulgent.
