Green Tea Peach Bellini Recipe

Ingredients:

1 peach, ripe and sliced (or ½ cup of peach nectar)1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder 1 cup hot, not boiling, water (approximately 175 degrees)1 bottle of Prosecco or sparkling white wine, chilledIce cubes (optional, for chilling)Fresh peach slices or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Green Tea: Whisk matcha into hot water until fully dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, or chill it in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Blend the Peaches: If using fresh peaches, blend slices in a blender until smooth to create a puree. Skip this step if using peach nectar.
Mix the Peach and Green Tea: In a pitcher, combine the cooled green tea and peach puree (or nectar). Stir well to ensure the mixture is fully combined.
Assemble the Drink: Fill each champagne flute about one-third full with the green tea and peach mixture. Ice cubes can be added to the glass beforehand if desired.
Top with Prosecco: Gently pour Prosecco or sparkling white wine over the peach and green tea mixture in each flute, allowing it to mix and create a light foam at the top. Leave a bit of room at the top to prevent it from overflowing.

Garnish with a fresh peach slice or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing twist of this Green Tea Peach Bellini.

Tips:

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling white grape juice or sparkling water for the Prosecco.

Adjust the amount of peach puree or nectar according to taste for sweetness and flavor intensity.

This Green Tea Peach Bellini combines the antioxidant properties of green tea with the sweetness of peaches and the celebratory sparkle of Prosecco, making it a perfect drink for brunches, celebrations, or just a refreshing lift.
