Picture this: the sun is blazing, the day is dragging, and you're craving something, anything, to beat the heat. What if I told you that you could make a drink that's not only refreshingly cool but also packed with antioxidants and flavor? This Jasmine Peach Matcha Cooler is exactly that. It's a delightful fusion of floral jasmine tea, sweet juicy peaches, and earthy matcha, all blended to create a vibrant and revitalizing beverage. I remember one unbearably hot afternoon when I whipped up this cooler. One sip, and it was like a mini-vacation in a glass. No lie it tasted so good.
I’ve always been a fan of experimenting in the kitchen, and this recipe is a testament to that. I stumbled upon the idea while trying to use up some ripe peaches from my garden, and the results were so good, it quickly became a favorite in my household. What started as a simple experiment turned into a go-to drink for everything from summer brunches to evening relaxation. One of my friends, who’s usually skeptical about anything green, even admitted that this matcha cooler was surprisingly good. I mean, come on, it's so good, even I will accept that it should be in a restaurant.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients prepped and ready to go. It always makes cooking easier!
- Brew the Jasmine Tea: Steep the jasmine tea bags in 1 cup of hot water for 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool completely. Pro Tip: Don't oversteep the tea, or it might get bitter!
- Prepare the Peach Puree: Slice 2 ripe peaches and remove the pits. Place the peach slices in a blender and blend until smooth. If the puree is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Mix the Matcha: In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and 2 tablespoons of warm water until there are no clumps. It should form a smooth, dark green paste. This step is crucial for avoiding a lumpy cooler!
- Combine the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled jasmine tea, peach puree, matcha paste, honey (or maple syrup), and milk (or almond milk). Blend until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and frothy. Don't over blend tho!
- Add Ice and Blend Again: Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the blender and blend until the mixture is slushy and well chilled. Be careful not to blend for too long, or you'll end up with a watery cooler.
- Taste and Adjust: Give the cooler a taste and adjust the sweetness or matcha flavor as needed. Add more honey for sweetness or a pinch more matcha for a stronger flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the jasmine peach matcha cooler into tall glasses. Garnish with a few slices of fresh peach and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy this perfect summer beverage!
