Beverage
Watermelon Matcha is a refreshing and vibrant layered drink that combines the juicy sweetness of fresh watermelon with the earthy richness of matcha green tea. Fresh watermelon juice creates a naturally fruity base, while soy milk adds a smooth and creamy touch. A pinch of Arabian sea salt enhances the watermelon’s natural flavour, and freshly whisked matcha brings a distinctive green tea taste. Finished with a drizzle of agave syrup and served over ice, this colourful beverage is perfect for warm days, festive gatherings, or a refreshing afternoon drink. Enjoy it layered or stirred for a delicious flavour combination.
