• 1 Cup Water

• 1.5 Cups Strawberries Halved (12 oz.)

• 3 Stalks Rhubarb Sliced (~1.5 cups)

How to make:

In a small sauce pan add all ingredients. Over medium low heat bring to a simmer. Stirring occasionally. Simmer on low for ~10-15 minutes until rhubarb is soft and strawberries are pale in color. Muddle/Mash until rhubarb and strawberries have broken down into small chunks. Strain.

If you want a thicker syrup, remove the lemon peels then blend once cooled.

How I made it:

Measure out your matcha.

If using a traditional matcha whisk, add 15 ml of hot water to your matcha. Whisk until a dark green uniform paste forms. Continue to add the remaining hot water.

If using a milk frother. Add your matcha to a bowl/cup, add in the full amount of water. Froth.

Fill up a Glass with ice, add in syrup and nut milk. Pour over whisked matcha. Sip and enjoy :)!

It’s a great condiment for burgers, chicken sandwiches and so many other things.*

Ingredients

1/2 Cup Mayonnaise

3 Tbsp Ketchup

1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

Black Pepper

How I made it:

Using a skillet on medium heat add a small amount of oil. Once the pan is hot add diced yellow onion, allow the onions to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to allow them to brown. Cook until golden brown and softened.

In a small In a bowl mix together all ingredients. Season to taste.
