3. Put ice cubes into a glass, then add the lemon and lime juice, the raspberry syrup and the spirulina mix.

Matcha Tonic

You need:

• chamomile flowers

How it’s done:

1. Mix matcha with 2-3 tbsp. hot water (ideally with a matcha broom or milk frother). Let it cool down.
2. Put ice cubes into a glass and add tonic water, but leave enough room for the matcha mix.
3. Slowly pour the matcha mix into it and garnish with chamomile flowers.

If you don't like matcha, you could use an espresso shot for the drink and cacao nibs as garnish instead
