Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 30 ml fresh yuzu juice (cold-pressed)
  • 10 g hydrolyzed collagen peptides (unflavored)
  • 200 ml sparkling mineral water (high carbonation)
  • 3 drops liquid monk fruit or stevia
  • 1 piece fresh shiso leaf (for garnish)
  • 1 cup filtered ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Measure 30 ml of fresh yuzu juice into your mixing vessel.
  2. Gradually add the 10 grams of collagen peptides into the yuzu juice and use a frother or stirrer to blend.
  3. Gently slap the shiso leaf to release its oils and place it in the bottom of the glass.
  4. Fill a shaker with large ice cubes, pour the yuzu and collagen mixture over the ice, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds.
  5. Strain the mixture into a serving glass over fresh ice and slowly pour in the sparkling mineral water.
  6. Adjust sweetness with monk fruit or stevia if necessary, stirring gently.

Notes

Consume immediately for peak carbonation. Store the 'spark base' in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours but do not add sparkling water until serving.
