How to Make a Green Geisha

Posted By Kimberly Turner on Sep 14, 2007 in Alcohol Drink Recipes, Beverage Recipes, Coffee Recipes, Ethnic Foods, Japanese Food Recipes, Vegetarian | 0 comments

This drink was inspired by my new-found green tea cravings, and my love of lychee nuts…

Refreshing and interesting to drink as an aperitif, while eating sushi, or all by itself…

Have fun and I hope you enjoy it!

P.S. Looking for a great Japanese Loose Leaf Green Tea? Here is a great and affordable option:

House Japanese Green, 125g Tin Pale, green, light & healthy – GBP3.36 per 100g. The very healthy large-leafed Sencha grade Green tea is steamed whilst being rolled to preserve the color. Gently ‘green spinachy’ in taste; most enjoyable made light. Never add milk. Brew very light using 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per small pot. Do not add milk.
