Notes
You can make blueberry syrup with fresh (or frozen) blueberries and keep it in the refrigerator for a week to 10 days.
You can use the blueberry syrup as-is, strain it, or puree it.
Use honey or agave for a subtler sweetness.
Try to use high-quality matcha. I prefer ceremonial grade.
If you plan to drink matcha on the regular, it is worth investing in a matcha whisk. Helps get that coveted micro foam. In any case, whisk the matcha well to avoid lumps and get a smooth finish.
